China's Zhangjiajie National Park is often associated with the set of Avatar. It offers some of the world's most extensive limestone pillars and provided the other-worldly setting that the producers were looking for. On a five-day trip, filmmaker Abel Blanco set out with his drone to capture the natural beauty of this landscape for his own film.
