James Cameron's blockbuster Avatar has been given a sky-high honour in China - its own peak.

As the film topples the moviemaker's Titanic as the highest-grossing movie of all time, Chinese officials renamed a mountain after the film.

South Sky Pillar will now be known as Avatar Hallelujah Mountain on maps and guides.

The Golden Globe-winning movie is expected to be among the 10 films nominated for an Oscar next week.

what has Avatar Hallelujah Mountain do with James Cameron's Avatar other than the scenery in the film was inspired by the mountain in China. There were 2 Avatar (Italian & Singaporean) films before James Cameron's Avatar. Besides that, Avatar refers to a deliberate descent of a deity from heaven to earth in Hinduism.
