Among the more than 3,000 strange peaks in Zhangjiajie, Hunan, each peak has beautiful scenery and touching legends. After hundreds of millions of years of wind erosion and natural sculpture, the Hallelujah Mountain in Zhangjiajie has many grotesque hills and lakes, such as the "Gankun Column" in Yuan Jiajie, which is the prototype of "Hallelujah Mountain" in Avatar.
In Avatar, the "Hallelujah columnar suspended mountain" is obviously sedimentary rock, not limestone, but sandstone, with a big top and a small top, and even a helicopter can be stopped to place an experimental space, which belongs to the same type as Zhangjiajie.
Extended information Hallelujah Mountain:
300 meters away from the entrance of Zhangjiajie Forest Park, there is a place called "the most beautiful canyon in the world"-Jin Bianxi, which is also one of the shooting places of The Journey to the West. Once praised by Shen Congwen as "the girl of Zhangjiajie", she is gentle and clear as a girl, giving people a feeling of wanting to be close.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying in Zhangjiajie: If you don't come to Zhangjiajie, Huangshizhai brings together the most fantastic scenery in Zhangjiajie. Here, the front garden, Wu Zhifeng and scattered flowers are vividly visible, and Huangshizhai is also the largest aerial observation platform in Zhangjiajie.

What is the name of the mountain in Zhangjiajie where Avatar is located? Zhangjiajie is "built in the south"
2010 65438+1On October 25th, Nantianyizhu in Zhangjiajie was renamed as "Avatar" Hallelujah Mountain. In the movie Avatar, a large number of prototypes of Pandora come from the mountains of Zhangjiajie, among which the picture of Nantianyizhu becomes the prototype of Hallelujah Mountain, that is, the suspended mountain.
In the movie Avatar, these huge stones suspended in the air are called "Hallelujah Mountain" (also known as montas Volcano) by people on earth, which is a great scenic spot of Pandora. These huge stones contain a precious mineral: niobium. Unobtnium is a rare normal temperature superconductor with special magnetic field. Under the action of Pandora's magnetic field, this spectacular boulder floats.
The tops of these megalithic islands are relatively flat, but the surrounding areas are extremely steep, and rivers pour down from cliffs, forming waterfalls hanging in the air. They are suspended in a magnetic field, just like icebergs floating in the ocean, and they will collide with each other.
The indigenous "Namilun people" of Pandora called these islands "thunder stones" and regarded them as inviolable sacred areas. However, the earth people went to Pandora only to exploit the Unobtnium in these boulders to solve the energy crisis of the earth.

"Southern Sky and Pillar" is one of the "Three Wonders" in Zhangjiajie. It is located at the southern end of Yuanjiajie Scenic Spot in Wulingyuan Scenic Spot, a world natural heritage, with an altitude of1.074m and a vertical height of about1.50m.. The top vegetation is lush, the peak shape is strange, and the vertical seam cutting is obvious. It stands tall in Zhangjiajie like a knife and axe, so it has an indomitable spirit.
From June, 5438 to February, 2008, Hollywood photographer Hansen made a four-day location shooting in Zhangjiajie. A large number of landscape pictures later became the prototype of various elements of Pandora in the American sci-fi blockbuster Avatar, among which the picture of "South Tianzhu" became the prototype of "Hallelujah Mountain", that is, the suspended mountain.
Nantianyizhu was renamed Hallelujah Mountain. Is it a success or a failure? As the saying goes, names are important to people and things. For example, many stars you know are not called by their current names, but by their new names before their debut, just to catch their breath. We know that the names of many places have been changed. For example, Changshan changed its name to "Shijiazhuang" and Luzhou changed its name to "Hefei", which has been constantly being spit out on the Internet.
What I want to talk about today is the renaming of another tourist attraction. This is a famous scenic spot in Zhangjiajie, "Nantianyizhu", which was suddenly renamed as "Hallelujah Mountain" in 20 10, and has been controversial ever since. Why did Nantianyizhu change its current name? It turns out that the famous movie Avatar took many pictures in Zhangjiajie that year, especially the alien planet Pandora, and the South Tianzhu is the prototype of the suspended mountain of Avatar. In the movie, this floating mountain is also called "Hallelujah Mountain". It is in order to collect the minerals on the "Hallelujah Mountain" that human beings clashed with Pandora.
However, this name change incident caused great controversy. Zhangjiajie is a famous natural scenic spot in China, especially the "Three Thousand Wonders Peak", and "Nantianyizhu" is one of the "Three Thousand Wonders Peak". Its altitude is1.074m, and its vertical height is1.50m.. It has a very strange shape and indomitable spirit. In addition, it is located at the southern end of Zhangjiajie, so it is also called "Nantianyi".
I have to say that the broadcast of Avatar has really improved the international popularity of Zhangjiajie, and many people yearn for Zhangjiajie. However, many people think that it is really inappropriate to rename "Nantianyizhu" as "Hallelujah Mountain". In order to meet the needs of the international market, it is actually enough to translate the foreign language of "Nantianyizhu" into "Hallelujah Mountain", and there is no need to change its name to "Hallelujah Mountain". It's a bit neither fish nor fowl to change the name like this. Do Zhangjiajie people have to be called "Avatar" people?
