A visit to the Pandora World - Zhang Jia Jie

Paid a visit to China again this year with Matta fair deal. This time is to the Avatar!! A 8 days 7 nights tour shall consider my healthiest days spent this time around, you can expect averagely over thousands of steps to climb or to walk daily coupled with fun, sweats - dry sweats.The pros of following a travel agent for a tour are eat sumptuous, non budget-ed accommodations, needless to plan for itinerary, you just need to pay and follow. By right, we should not be gaining weight again but the result was not as expected. Couldn't figure out why, could it be sitting and being idle right after each lunch?

A few places to highlight for this trip - Red Stone Forest, Huang Long Cave, Grand Canyon (with the slides), the Ancient Village of Feng Huang and the trademark of Zhang Jia Jie (the Avatar Hallelujah Mountain)

Our route for the whole trip is from Penang - Guangzhou(Transit) - ChangSa - ChangDe - Feng Huang - Zhang Jia Jie - GuangZhou(Transit) - Penang.

Luckily the weather there was soothing, just the beginning of Autumn, we get cold breeze and slight drizzling, overall, it was cool to hang around there.

ChangSa - You may want to skip this province if you are on your own trip, nothing interesting unless you are into Mr. Mao, then you may want to have a look on how his house is like, where his room is and so on. Otherwise, this is a place to skip.

MaoZeDong's Hometown




ChangDe - I would say another place to skip too, we had no choice as we are on a group tour so we had to follow.
Willow Lake



Feng Huang - The real deal is here, the ancient village though some part of it were commercialized. It is retain the ancient feel of building and transport. Even the people there.
Compared to WuZhen, Feng Huang is much more packed with people.










Zhang Jia Jie - The ought to be place with numerous stone mountains, peaks, stairs, caves, stones, people....
Love the Grand Canyon whereby we get to enjoy the slides, flying fox, boat ride. It was pretty fun there.

Heaven Gate TianMenShan -was foggy, could not see the gate


Glass plank - foggy too


Overall, Zhang Jia Jie is the place where you could see the most rock mountains and it is becoming more popular due to Avatar, you got to train your stamina before going there =P
