在武陵源风景名胜区袁家界景区内，有一处名副其实的“网红打卡点”，来自世界各地的游客都喜欢在这里拍照。它，就是“乾坤柱”。

“乾坤柱”是张家界地貌“三千奇峰”中的一根。它海拔高度1074米，垂直高度约400米，顶部植被郁郁葱葱，峰体造型奇特，垂直节理切割明显，仿若刀劈斧削般巍巍屹立于天地间，有顶天立地之势，故得名“乾坤柱”。

2008年12月份，好莱坞摄影师汉森在张家界进行了为期四天的外景拍摄，大量素材后来成为美国科幻大片《阿凡达》中“潘多拉星球”各种元素的原型，其中“乾坤柱”就成为“哈利路亚山”即悬浮山的原型。《阿凡达》在全球热播后，海内外亿万观众更是对“哈利路亚山”原型地张家界心驰神往。
