First, congratulations to James Cameron. His epic motion picture-Avatar has exceeded Titanic as the highest grossing film of all time worldwide.

Once James Cameron said his inspiration for the "Hallelujah Mountains" came from the Yellow Mountain. However, some people doubted this. Zhangjiajie stood out and claimed that the original model for the "Hallelujah Mountain" in the movie was the hills in Zhangjiajie. To be specific, it was 'South Sky Pillar'. In order to capitalize on Avatar’s fame, Zhangjiajie even was said to rename “South Sky Pillar” to "Hallelujah Mountains".

By the way, Zhangjiajie has established the "General Official for Avatar-themed Tourist Trips" ("Avatar Office" for short) and has launched "Avatar tourist trips."

The Yellow Mountain also wanted to make use of Avatar. It also launched many tourist activities such as "Experiencing the Real Green Hills in Avatar."

Now Zhangjiajie has clarified that 'South Sky Pillar' will not be renamed. Obviously, they face great pressure from the public.

What do you think? Should 'South Sky Pillar' be renamed as "Hallelujah Mountains"?

Wow! Maybe, Zhangjiajie should rename itself Pandora and invite James Cameron to be the honorary mayor. If possible, Zhangjiajie should cooperate with Hollywood to shoot Avatar II. Then I am sure that Zhangjiajie will be known to the whole world.

Awful! There should be something more valuable than money. Renaming mountains might bring high profits. But it is improper to give a foreign name to a Chinese mountain.
