Honed Sandstone Tiles and Their Influence on Sci-Fi Landscapes

Honed sandstone tiles have a uniform texture, and their formations tend to be more rounded or conical. In contrast, Huangshan experienced the fourth Quaternary glacial activity, forming blade-root shapes. On the other hand, Zhangjiajie's honed sandstone tile peaks are flat and rarely appear conical. The layered structure of the rock on these peak columns is also distinct.

Did Cameron's Floating Mountains Take Inspiration from Zhangjiajie?

According to Child Lisman, two types of mountains appear in the film:

1. Stone pillar and peak forests – These resemble floating mountains.
2. Rounded formations – These resemble the rolling hills and forests of the Na’vi homeland.

The "Hallelujah Mountains" in the movie are clearly sedimentary rock formations—not limestone but honed sandstone tile structures. Their bases are large and flat, even spacious enough to accommodate helicopters and experimental space stations—similar to Zhangjiajie’s unique landscape.

Meanwhile, the rolling hills in the background of the film are harder to analyze, but they could consist of limestone, honed sandstone tile, metamorphic rock, or granite. For example, Yuelu Mountain, which stretches westward from Changsha, is primarily composed of sandstone.

Zhangjiajie's Influence on the Floating Mountains

The floating mountains in the movie share key characteristics with Zhangjiajie's terrain:

• The faint purple hue of the floating mountains closely resembles the iron-oxidized honed sandstone tile of Zhangjiajie. Granite, in contrast, does not undergo such coloration.
• The mountain tops feature bush-like vegetation, similar to those found on Zhangjiajie’s peaks.
• Natural formations like stone bridges and towering rock pillars strongly resemble Zhangjiajie’s landscape.

Absence of Huangshan Pine in the Film

One notable observation is the lack of Huangshan pine trees, which are a defining feature of Huangshan Mountain. Instead, the vegetation atop the floating mountains appears bush-like, further suggesting that Zhangjiajie served as the primary inspiration for the movie’s landscape.
