From the real Avatar Mountains to tell China's plan to become a tourism superpower too

The article describes the transformation of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan Province, China, into a major tourist destination inspired by the movie 'Avatar.' The park's unique geological formations, resembling floating mountains from the film, have become a popular attraction. Local authorities capitalized on this connection by renaming a landmark after the movie, further cementing the link between fiction and reality. The area now features extensive tourism infrastructure including cable cars, suspended walkways, and mechanical elevators, allowing visitors to access remote areas easily. Despite being a fictional setting in the movie, the park has become a real-world example of China's growing ambitions in the tourism sector, drawing international tourists who come to experience the landscape that inspired 'Avatar.'

Bias read (Center): The article presents a descriptive account of Zhangjiajie's development as a tourist site, focusing on its geographical and cultural significance rather than taking a clear ideological stance. While it mentions the influence of Hollywood and the commercialization of the area, it does not overtly批评或赞
