It is said that watching films is one of the best means of traveling considering various kinds of landscapes that can be seen in movies.

Countless audiences were attracted to the beautiful scenery portrayed in the movie Avatar. Many left the theater feeling depressed because the fascinating world of Pandora could never be reached and could only be seen on screen.

However, there is no need to become depressed, because there are a variety of excellent filming sites in China, and are easy to visit. The sites included are quaint houses, exotic architecture, precipitous slopes, and picturesque natural scenery.
