Although it is physically impossible for these mountains to be floating like they were in the movie, the inspiration behind James Cameron’s “Hallelujah Mountains” came from the Hunan province of China. The sandstone and quartz pillars of the Zhangjiajie mountain range stick straight up like spires towards the heavens, and since Avatar was such an enormous box office hit, the Zhangjiajie government has basked in the cash that’s been coming in from tourism. In fact, they renamed the Southern Sky Column of the mountain range to the “Avatar Hallelujah Mountains” to pay homage to the root of their current economic success.
