Creator's Key Takeaways

Right behind me is the entryway to Zang Jang Xian National Park. We've just arrived in the real life world of Pandora and this is a pinch me moment.

This national park is so big. It actually goes over five provinces here in China.

We are literally going to Pandora. Oh, and I just can't believe I'm here.

The weather is surprisingly quite nice. We are here in May and look at that. It's beautiful.
