Hunan, The Other World of the Avatar

Visit the Zhangjiajie National Park in China that inspired the world in director James Cameron’s Avatar. A land of steep mountains rising like swords from the ground; jagged, karst peaks that emerge from the clouds like floating islands; and a river banked by exotic trees along its winding path. Meet the inhabitants of this surreal place, their beliefs and their mythology. As the Miao people celebrate their annual festival, get a glimpse of their rich and vibrant culture and traditions, and an understanding of their unique way of life.
