There are also 40 caves and 2 naturally-formed bridges. Wulingyuan incorporates 4 protected areas, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Suoxi Valley Nature Reserve, Tianzi Mountain Nature Reserve and Yangjiajie Scenic Area. The best known is Zhangjiajie, whose unique, foliage-cloaked pillar formations are said to have inspired the look of Pandora in the film\u00a0<em>Avatar<\/em>. As well as handy cable cars to whisk you up amongst the peaks, it\u2019s easy to escape the other explorers by heading out on some of the many hiking trails.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>Discover Wulingyuan Scenic and Historic Interest Area on our Dreams of Nature Tour<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"\/china\/tours\/dreams-of-nature.htm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"378\" height=\"543\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/image-6.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9097\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/image-6.png 378w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/image-6-209x300.png 209w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 378px) 100vw, 378px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"625\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/zhangyenp.jpg\" alt=\"Rainbow rocks of Zhangye\" class=\"wp-image-4704\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/zhangyenp.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/zhangyenp-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>Zhangye National Geopark<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>lso known as the \u2018Rainbow Mountains\u2019, the Zhangye National Geopark, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, encompasses 322 square kilometres of undulating, rainbow-esque\u00a0ridges in the green foothills of the Qilian Mountains. These unique ridges, considered by many as a geological wonder of the world, are made up of layers of different coloured rocks which, over millions of years, have eroded to look like waves. The area, in Gansu province, northwest China, also has a variety of unusual rock formations and there have also been discoveries of dinosaur fossils.

This 3,200-square kilometre protected area has long been a destination for adventurous local tourists. The mountains and forests that make up the reserve\u2019s spectacular landscapes are full of diverse flora and fauna. Of the 5,000 species of plants and animals that call it home, of particular note are the rare and protected Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys, Clouded Leopards and Asian Black Bears. Shennongjia is also rife with rumours about an alleged Big-Foot-Wild-Man type creature that has been spotted roaming the woodlands \u2013 a fascinating attraction we think you\u2019ll agree!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask our <a href=\"\/tailormade-tours\/\">Tailor-made team<\/a> about creating a bespoke holiday to Shennongjia National Nature Reserve<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"625\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/lushannp.jpg\" alt=\"Lake of Lushan National Park\" class=\"wp-image-4702\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/lushannp.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/lushannp-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>Lushan National Park<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Set just south of the Yangtze River, Mt Lu (Lushan) is one of China\u2019s original spiritual centres for both followers of Taoism and Buddhism. Surrounding Mt Lu is 500 square kilometres of spectacular landscapes, that are made up of towering peaks grooved with dramatic ravines and grottoes alongside lakes and waterfalls. All this is dotted with beautiful, old temples, which, along with the swirling cloud cover that descends on the area 200 days a year, perfectly adds to the spiritual atmosphere. It is one of those places that has been inspiring artists for centuries \u2013 in fact, you\u2019ve probably already seen it on one of those quintessential paintings of a Chinese landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Ask our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/tailormade-tours\/\">Tailor-made team<\/a> about creating a bespoke holiday to Lushan National Park<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"625\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/everestnp.jpg\" alt=\"Moody Mount Everest\" class=\"wp-image-4706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/everestnp.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/everestnp-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>Qomolangma National Park<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The must-see sight of the Qomolangma National Park is Qomolangma itself \u2013 better known as Mt Everest. This is the world\u2019s highest altitude park, and as well as Everest, encompasses more of the Central Himalaya\u2019s sky-scraping peaks, valleys, hot springs and forests. Located in the south of Tibet, on the Nepal border, the park was set up to halt activities such as deforestation and illegal poaching of wildlife.

The world\u2019s highest karst bridges can be reached either by a glass lift or a hike down into a steep-sided but spectacular ravine. With lush moss underfoot, waterfalls run gently down the gorge\u2019s sides and an atmospheric mist regularly lingers as you explore the area below the bridges.
