Nature and Viewpoints in China That Creators Post on TikTok

The China in these videos is stone, water and glass. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, the most posted entry, is all sandstone pillars. Xingwen Stone Sea in Sichuan has karst forests and the sinkholes that gave the word tiankeng its meaning. The Hani rice terraces in Yunnan spiral down the Ailao Mountains, and Nalati in Xinjiang is open meadow under snowy peaks.

A second cluster comes from one two-day Guangzhou itinerary: a cave skywalk at Dongtian Fairyland and the glass platforms of Gulongxia, both in Qingyuan, plus the Lingnan-style Baomo Garden. Elsewhere, Fenglin Gorge in Henan became known for its motorboats. Most entries are priced as moderate, and Nalati's listing notes that entry needs a ticket.

Where creators go

  1. Zhangjiajie National Forest ParkNational Park · Wulingyuan

    China's first national forest park, in Wulingyuan, Hunan, and a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its towering quartz sandstone pillars. Two different creators posted it, more than any other place here. The listing notes public buses run from Zhangjiajie city, so you can reach it without a tour.

  2. Fenglin GorgeNatural Landmark · Jiaozuo

    A gorge in Jiaozuo, Henan, with a long calm lake, emerald water, islands and mountains on every side. The post that made it popular compares the motorboat ride to real-life Diddy Kong Racing, and the joke stuck. The listing recommends three to five hours for a visit.

  3. Xingwen Stone Sea Scenic AreaNatural Landmark · Bowangshan

    A UNESCO Global Geopark in Yibin, Sichuan, with a stone forest that looks like frozen waves, tiankeng sinkholes, caves with underground rivers and Bo cliff coffin ruins. The creator puts entry plus a boat ride for two at about 45 US dollars. Wear non-slip shoes and bring a jacket for the cool caves; there is also an illuminated night tour.

  4. Cultural Landscape of Honghe Hani Rice TerracesNatural Landmark · Gejiu

    Rice terraces cut into the Ailao Mountains in Yunnan over some 1,300 years, farmed with red rice alongside fish and ducks. The post describes thousands of spiraling paddies that change color as the light moves, and puts it on a list of real places that sound invented.

  5. Nalati Scenic AreaNatural Landmark

    A sub-alpine meadow in the Tianshan Mountains of Xinjiang, with rolling grassland, Kazakh yurt stays and the Panlong Valley Road. June to September is the wildflower season according to the listing, and entry requires a ticket. The creator's caption is simple: green grass as far as you can see.

  6. Dongtian FairylandNatural Landmark · Qingyuan

    A karst area in Yingde, Qingyuan, with a boat ride along an underground river, a glass skywalk inside a cave, and a giant sinkhole billed as the largest in South China. Add the glass slide and the music road and it becomes a full day out. It appears in a two-day Guangzhou itinerary.

  7. Gulongxia Glass PlatformNatural Landmark · Qingyuan

    A set of glass platforms and suspension bridges over a forested gorge in Qingxin, Qingyuan, including a 302-meter cantilevered platform and a glass bridge facing a tiered waterfall. Some panels play cracking-glass sound and light effects. Rafting is part of the same park, and it shares the Guangzhou itinerary with Dongtian Fairyland.

  8. Baomo GardenBotanical Garden · Shunde

    A Lingnan-style garden with carved pavilions in lime and padauk wood, koi and turtle ponds, and more than ten art exhibition halls. Lion dances are staged on holidays. It is the quiet stop on the two-day Guangzhou plan, and the address places it in Panyu.

Day trips from Guangzhou

Three places come from the same creator's two-day Guangzhou itinerary. Dongtian Fairyland and Gulongxia are both in Qingyuan and both lean on thrill rides, glass and caves. Baomo Garden is the slower option, with carvings and ponds rather than drops.

Further afield: Xinjiang, Yunnan, Sichuan and Hunan

The remaining long-distance trips are spread out: Nalati in Xinjiang is best in summer, the Hani terraces sit in southern Yunnan, Xingwen is in southern Sichuan, and Zhangjiajie is in Hunan. Each is a destination in its own right rather than something to combine on one trip.

Good to know

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan has the most posts in this set. Fenglin Gorge in Henan became known for its Diddy Kong Racing comparison, and Xingwen Stone Sea in Sichuan gets posts for its stone forest and sinkholes. Near Guangzhou, creators film the glass platforms of Gulongxia and the cave skywalk at Dongtian Fairyland.
