Today was incredible. One of the things I was looking forward to the most on this whole trip was the Zhangjiajie National Park - home to the floating mountains. They did not disappoint!!
These are the mountains that inspired the scenery from the movie "Avatar" (not that I've seen it). The mountains are all stony peaks, completely separate from one another. It's incredible to see.
I really wish I had my standard lens to give some perspective to the size of them, but they were huge, and even the photos I have don't do them justice.
The walking was actually pretty tough, with icy stairs all over the place, but I managed to stay standing the whole day without hurting myself. It was about a 7 hour hike through the park.
I was surprised to see monkeys there too, which was quite a nice surprise addition.
Tomorrow, my birthday!! xx
