Sea of clouds turns central China’s forest park into fairyland

ZHANGJIAJIE CITY, China (CCTV) — A sea of clouds has turned a national forest park in Zhangjiajie of central China’s Hunan Province into a fairyland Wednesday after it cleared up following several days of rains.

Pure white clouds floated above the Tianmen Mountain with a gust of breeze. The amazing natural scenery attracted many visitors and shutterbugs to take photos.

Zhang Shupeng, a Chinese wingsuit pilot, took such a chance for a test fly from a platform with an elevation of 1,500 meters at a speed of about 160 kilometers per hour. He completed a three-kilometer flight within one minute.

Seeing from high, people couldn’t help marveling at a zigzag mountain road. The winding road of Tianmen Mountain, nicknamed as heaven-linking avenue, has a total length of 10.77 kilometers, starting from an elevation of 200 meters and winding up to 1,300 meters within a short range. It paves its way painstakingly over the high valleys along the breathtaking cliffs, and zigzags with 99 sharp turnings like a flying dragon.
