Immortal Zhangjiajie

Visitors to Zhangjiajie, in Hunan Province, often resort to comparisons with the divine when searching for a cogent description of their impression of its hilly terrain of uncanny beauty. The scenery is too stunning to be something of the terrestrial world. Some people attribute this unearthliness to its occult location at the very center of China, where 110° eastern longitude and 30° northern latitude, the demarcations of China's east and west and north and south respectively, intersect.
