A McDonald's branch in China's Zhangjiajie National Park has been hailed as offering the 'best views in the world' after a viral video showcased its stunning surroundings. The fast-food outlet, located near the park's iconic sandstone pillars, has sparked both awe and criticism online.
In an Instagram video, user Janet Newenham captured the surreal landscape from the restaurant, showing towering rock faces, dense greenery, and misty skies. The park, known for inspiring the film 'Avatar', is a UNESCO World Heritage site spanning 18.59 square miles.
Social media users were divided, with some praising the location and others decrying the commercialisation of the natural wonder. One commenter said: 'I've been there in 2015 and it's absolutely amazing, I swear McDonald's always get the best spots.' Another wrote: 'This is actually sad.'
The park features quartz-sandstone pillars formed by physical erosion, along with deep ravines and canyons. Attractions include the Bailong Elevator and the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge, which offer visitors unique perspectives of the landscape.
