Zhangjiajie, national park in China in Hunan province : city of 1.5 million inhabitants at the foot of the park, famous for its 3000 quartz-sandstone karst peaks from 200 to 2,600 ft high, landscapes that inspired James Cameron for the floating mountains of the Avatar film 2009 (the Hallelujah Mountain peak was officially renamed after the film's success).
