Wulingyuan Scenic Area is one of the most incredible UNESCO World Heritage site landscapes we've ever seen. A large area of tall quartzite pinnacles sticking up out of deep sandstone valleys, the landscape is both beautiful and remarkable. Although it's long been known to the Chinese, it really came to the world's attention when it inspired the landscapes in the movie Avatar. Let's go exploring!
