Avatar Air For Sale

Managers at a national park that contains the spectacular mountain ranges which were the inspiration for the scenery in Avatar are offering bottled air to visitors.
The towering rock formations of the national forest park located in Zhangjiajie City in the northern Hunan Province in China were copied and reproduced by Hollywood special effects experts. Ever since then the park has been flooded with visitors who want to experience first-hand the Avatar Scenery that before the film came out was only occasionally seen in the outside world in traditional Chinese paintings.
Now park managers have launched a promotional campaign highlighting not just the beauty of the area that was declared a national park in 1982 -- but also the purity of its air.
Park spokesman Shi Cheng said: "The air here contain hundreds of thousands of negative oxide ions per cubic centimeter. It is a pure natural products which people can either appreciate first-hand by visiting or can take away with them."
The park has hired six-year-old Zhou Xiyi for a series of promotional posters where she snapped wearing a traditional Tujia clothing.
The park spokesman added: "We don't need to copy the natives of the Avatar world -- we have enough beautiful natives of our own."
The park which is located in the Hunan province is a World Natural Heritage site and includes among 3,000 spectacular peaks the newly named 3,544-foot high Avatar mountain. The unique shapes are formed from years of erosion where the weather is moist all year round making the foliage very dense.
