张家界 沈从文
险极腰肢寨，幽深金鞭溪,
更上黄石寨，一览众山低
We started off the trip at Changsha amd caught a coach to Feng Huang City
鳳凰古城
It is a small county renowned for its natural beauty, rich history and culture as well as colorful ethnic customs, located at south Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture of Hunan province, China. Fenghuang means Phoenix in Chinese. Phoenix is a mythical sacred firebird in Chinese mythology representing good omen and longevity. Fenghuang town is given the name after Fenghuang Mountain which resembles Phoenix situated 50 miles away from it.
A special dessert that comes stuff with red bean fillings.
FengHuang ancient city is a very beautiful town with
unique streets and houses. However, I somewhat felt
that it is a little wee bit over touristic.
We proceeded to Zhangjiajie on the next day and
went on a cruise along Baofeng Lake, which is an
Alpine manmade lake surrounded by mountains.
You wouldn't for one second believed that this is a
manmade lake. And with the spectacular scenery
around us, it is simply awesome !!!
A fresh Morning. We took a cable up to Yuanjiajie
National Park and proceed to Tianzishan
天子山
What you see below is a Avatar's Banshee...er..
Mt Tianzi became even more famous, if not already have,
when the floating Hallelujah Mountains (based on Mt Tianzi)
was featured in the Hollywood Blockbuster..the AVATAR .

天子山
Mt Tianzi is famous for its stunning views of peaks, which rises one after another. At the top of the mountain,one can see the full view of the Wulingyuan Scenic Area. Four most attractive sceneries are : the Clouds Sea, the Radiance of the Moonlight, Sun rise and the snow in winter.
What you see below is a Avatar's Banshee...er..
made in China I think.
If you watch the blockuster movie AVATAR, here's a bit of facts.....
Banshee or Mountain banshees (Na'vi name : ikran) are large, bird-like aerial predators that are native to Pandora. They are used by the Na'vi for hunting from the air and traveling larger distances. Ikran are also used in battle, where the mount attacks its opponents from the air.
In case you are still wondering what I am talking about,,,, pls watch the movie.
