This mountain previously known as the 'Southern Sky Column' in China, has now been named the 'Avatar Hallelujah Mountain'. The peak became the inspiration for magical ‘floating peaks’ in James Cameron’s film after a Hollywood photographer spent time shooting there in 2008. This column is about 150 m high. This was taken from the top of a horse-shoe cliff, through thin mist.
袁家界是張家界的一個景區。“南天一柱”是張家界“三千奇峰”中的一座，位於袁家界景區南端，海拔高度1074米，垂直高度約150米，頂部植物鬱鬱蔥蔥，峰體造型奇特，垂直節理切割明顯，彷若刀劈斧削般巍巍屹立，有頂天立地之勢，故又名“乾坤柱”。
2008年12月份，好萊塢攝影師漢森在張家界進行了為期四天的外景拍攝，大量風景圖片後來成為美國科幻大片《阿凡達》中“潘多拉星球”各種元素的原型，其中“南天一柱”圖片就成為“哈利路亞山”即懸浮山的原型。
2010年1月25日，張家界“南天一柱”正式被更名為(Avatar-Hallelujah Mountain)《阿凡達》"哈利路亞山", 當天數百名土著居民及海內外遊客見證了更名儀式。
