"Oh, stop shouting. This is not Zhangjiajie yet. We still have to take a car for an hour to get there."
"I can't help it~~" Tina and her sisters shouted in fluent Chinese in the movie theater as soon as they got off the plane. They were extremely excited. They were all avid fans of Avatar, and they were in high spirits after the holiday.
We packed our bags and headed to Zhangjiajie, the legendary filming location for Avatar.
In their hearts, Zhangjiajie is a mysterious and magical place, just like the sacred and beautiful Pandora planet. This time, they came here with a dream come true.
Their appearance quickly attracted the attention of the travel agency in the airport. A woman wearing a tour guide uniform walked over ahead of the competitors: "Hello, are you from the travel agency? I'm from a travel agency.
I can be responsible for arranging your travel. Do you need our services?"
After all, Tina and the others were not familiar with the place. After understanding the situation, they readily paid 4,000 yuan per person to join the tour group and bought a four-day ultra-luxury tour package. It was a free one and the entire trip was picked up and dropped off by a luxury minibus.
Soon they arrived in Zhangjiajie in a luxury minibus. It was too late and they had to rest for one night. Tomorrow they would go directly to Yuanjiajie Scenic Area, one of the filming locations of "Avatar".
After spending an exciting night unable to sleep, they happily sat at the entrance of Suoxiyu Ticket Station in Zhangjiajie.
"Oh my God!! There are so many people!!" Tina exclaimed in surprise.
I saw a dense line of tourists at the entrance of Zhangjiajie. It was estimated that there were two thousand people. And Tina also noticed that black people and white people accounted for most of them.
The specially arranged tour guide said with a smile: "There are not many people today. There were more people in the past few days. The queues at more than a dozen entrances were more than 40 meters long."
After a long time, they finally entered the venue.
After walking for a while, the tour guide pointed to a place with many large tents and said: "That's where the crew of "Avatar" is located. It's being demolished now. Do you want to take a look? There are quite a few "Avatar"
Fans love going there."
The tour guide's suggestion received a positive response from Tina and the others. After paying the 10 yuan entrance fee, the group entered.
In fact, many things inside the fence, square, and studio have been moved away. There is nothing interesting to see. However, Tina and the others were very interested. They kept pointing to each place to guess what shots were taken here. Naturally, the camera did not stop for a moment.
.
They walked around a small shooting location for an hour, and left with something unsatisfied. Fortunately, they had booked a free package, so the tour guide did not rush them.
Then they followed the tour guide to the No. 1 elevator in the world - Bailong Elevator. It cost 180 million yuan. It is known as "the elevator with the highest speed, the fastest speed and the largest load capacity in the world", and it was also included in the Jiji Elevator.
Nice world record. Looking out from the elevator, most people don't dare to look at it.
Riding the Bailong Elevator, we arrived at Yuanjiajie Scenic Area.
The tour guide introduced Tina and the others: "Everyone has watched "Avatar". I must be very shocked by the strange peaks in it, and next we go to the "Avatar" peak prototype scenic spot - Yuanjiajie Scenic Area, Yuanjiajie
The scenery is famous for its majestic, strange, dangerous and precipitous scenery. There are more than ten miles of trails around the mountain and a high-altitude glass trestle. The scenery along the way is countless..."
Taking photos along the way, Tina and the others were constantly amazed by the many beautiful and majestic peaks. Soon they were taken to a platform with a wide view by the tour guide.
Looking out from the platform, you can have a panoramic view of three thousand peaks, majestic and beautiful, with different expressions.
Many tourists have stopped to take pictures on this platform, and the tour guide pointed to the strange peak in the middle opposite and introduced to Tina and the others: "The top of the mountain in front of you has lush vegetation, and the shape of the peak is unique and has the potential to tower over the sky.
The peak is called the Qiankun Pillar, also known as the First Pillar in the South Sky. In the movie "Avatar", the Thunder Winged Beast's habitat, Mount Truth, is based on its power."
"Oh, I know this, I know." Tina and others suddenly became excited and were very busy taking photos.
After passing the Qiankun Pillar, the tour guide said: "The next station will be a surprise, please forgive me for being too cautious now."
The tour guide smiled with a mysterious face, which made Tina and the others curious, but soon they came to the top of a relatively wide mountain.
"Wow wow wow!! It's a winged beast!!"
"so big!!"
"so beautiful!!"
Tina and the others covered their mouths with their hands and looked at the five giant winged beast models in front of them in surprise. Some were flying, some were standing, some were predatory, and some were landing. They were so lifelike that they looked as if they had just come out of a movie.
Each of them is three to four meters tall, with huge bodies and colorful bodies. Their fangs, eyes, skin, bat wings and claws are exactly the same as the Thunder Winged Beasts in the movie.
"I want to take pictures!! I want to take pictures!!"
"I'll take the photo first, hold the camera for me!!"
Tina and the others were in a mess with excitement, stroking here and there against the pterosaurs, unable to control themselves.
After spending more than three hours visiting Yuanjiajie and descending the mountain on a cable, they went straight to another attraction - "Avatar" Animal World - under the guidance of a tour guide.
There are many creatures in the movie here, including Na'vi, Thunder Pterosaur, Six-legged Armored Horse, Toruk Phantom, Stam Beast, Hammer-headed Thunder Beast, Death Beast, Viper Wolf, Pandora Monkey, Peacock Deer, Thorn
Bats, fan lizards, wood elves, soul trees, spiral red leaves...
The model is very realistic, no matter the touch between the fingers or the body shape, the color makes people think it is real.
The most popular ones are Toruk, the strongest creature in Pandora, and the Forest Dream Death Beast. Their huge bodies and ferocious teeth make many tourists find them cute~~
But what makes Tina and the others a little depressed is that there are too many tourists coming to the "zoo", which makes their photo-taking plan very unsatisfactory.
The next day, they visited the Golden Whip Stream, which was lush and green, with cool water. Everywhere along the way, they could find one or two Pandora animals or several Pandora plants, which added a lot of fun to Tina and their trip.
Since the global release of "Avatar" on Christmas Day, Zhangjiajie has received a large number of tourists from all over the world every day. Several airports in southern Hunan have throngs of tourists getting off the plane every day. Most of these tourists are attracted by "Avatar"
"I came here because of the attraction."
Because of "Avatar", Zhangjiajie's popularity around the world has reached its peak, no worse than the Great Wall of China or the Pyramids of Egypt.
According to statistics from the tourism management department of Xiangnan Province, the number of tourists to Zhangjiajie has increased four times compared with the same period last year. During this period, major hotels and inns in Zhangjiajie are basically full of tourists. If it were not for many families leaving their houses empty
If it is rented out, it is estimated that many tourists will not be able to accommodate it.
That's not all. Countless movie fans around the world expressed their longing for Zhangjiajie after watching "Avatar" and would definitely visit it if they have time.
This hot scene, scenic spot, and the government are grateful that they spared no effort to support this movie.
At the beginning, Wang Shang and Tianwang Film and Television were still under the pressure of negative public opinion. Zhangjiajie also withstood a lot of pressure from all walks of life to give the green light to "Avatar" and gave many preferential policies. Now that "Avatar" is a global hit, Zhangjiajie's tourism
The economy has more than doubled compared to the same period last year. All of this has made the leaders of scenic spots and governments laugh out of their dreams.
They are already thinking about granting the title of "honorary citizen" to several of the creative staff of "Avatar".

February 6, 2013.
On the eve of the Spring Festival, Wang Shang finally received good news about Ningnan TV - the business staff finally negotiated a price of 8.9 billion yuan, and all the properties of Ningnan Radio and Television Group were packaged and sold to Tianwang Film and Television Group. And the Ningnan Government*
As a local government department, it holds 10% of the shares but has no operating rights.
“Arrange the date sign immediately to avoid long nights and nightmares!!”
Wang Shang's words will naturally speed up the speed again!
On February 8, 2013, the eve of New Year’s Eve, Wang Shang attended the transfer meeting of Ningnan Radio and Television Group and formally completed the final transfer signing with the group’s board of directors.
When Wang Shang exchanged agreements with the other party and signed his name with his pen, it was officially announced that Wang Shang's career would take a further step.
The acquisition lasted for a year and a half, and after encountering a series of obstacles from other competing companies, Wang Shang finally acquired a radio and television group with fairly acceptable qualifications.
However, although the qualifications are not excellent, Wang Shang is confident that he can build it into an excellent radio and television group at home and abroad.
