Zhangjiajie Wulingyuan is a UNESCO World Heritage site that lies deep in the heart of China. The surreal landscape is marked by over 3000 towering moss-covered sandstone pillars that emerge from the lush forest below, where traces of ancient history and culture lie hidden on trails that have slowly been swallowed by the jungle itself. This is not merely a trail run, it’s an adventure through time and one of China's most iconic natural wonders.
