10 Movie Locations That Became Immortalised Thanks To Fans

One of the biggest movies ever made had to come equipped with some outstanding visuals and Avatar definitely filled that quota - and then some. Though a fair amount of praise has been piled onto the astounding visual effects on show, many people genuinely forget that some of those unbelievable settings were actually based on real life places.

A notable site being Zhangjiajie, which is a National Forest Park in Hunan Province, China. The area is well known for its sandstone quartz pillars that can reach past 600 feet high.

After the film's nearly untouchable success, tourists rushed to Zhangjiajie to see the authentic scenery that proved to be the nucleus for James Cameron's inception of Pandora.

Zhangjiajie isn't the kind of place you can cover in a day and it can take quite some time to fully explore the hiking trails the area has to offer. The jolt of tourism that the park received - after the film took off - has now led to new purpose walkways being built - including a terrifying all glass iteration that sits 4,600 feet above the ground.

Thrill-seekers and Pandora-fanatics alike have all made sure that Zhangjiajie will now become immortalised as the spark that produced one of cinema's most awe-inspiring worlds.
