00:00Most people think they know what China looks like.
00:11But far from the cities are places you've probably never seen.
00:16And maybe never even heard of.
00:23Ancient temples built into cliff sides.
00:29Remote highlands hiding lost civilisations.
00:37And landscapes that feel more like another planet.
00:49This is the other China.
00:52The one the world almost forgot.
00:59Where the clouds thin and the sky takes over the earth.
01:11A golden temple clings to a jagged peak.
01:14As if placed there by the heavens themselves.
01:17This is Lao Jun mountain.
01:27Legend says that over 2000 years ago.
01:33Lao Tzu.
01:35The ancient sage of Taoism came here seeking silence.
01:45Not to escape the world.
01:49But a rise above its noise.
01:57There are 99 bends to the top.
02:01Not just a test of strength.
02:03But a quiet reminder of Taoist wisdom.
02:07Balance comes when you move with nature.
02:10Not against it.
02:19Above 2000 metres.
02:21The world below disappears.
02:23And only stillness remains.
02:35The temple rebuilt in the Ming and Qingdonises.
02:37Sits perfectly aligned with the mountain's energy.
02:40Following centuries old Feng Shui principles.
02:43Even today pilgrims come not just for the view.
02:48But for the feeling.
02:58Because standing here where philosophy meets sky.
03:02It's easy to believe that truth lives somewhere above the clouds.
03:06A honeycomb of caves clings to a towering cliff.
03:23It's paths stitched together by narrow wooden walkways.
03:26And centuries of devotion.
03:31This is Maijashan.
03:33The Wheat Stack Mountain.
03:35Named for its rounded shape.
03:37But remembered for what lies within.
03:42Since the 4th century.
03:43Monks and artisans carved over 7,000 sculptures into its rock face.
03:52Many built from wooden frameworks covered in clay.
03:55Shaped with exquisite care.
04:01From palm-sized Buddhas to giants towering 16 metres high.
04:04Their features tell a larger story.
04:14Gandharan influences from India.
04:16Persian elegance.
04:17And Chinese realism.
04:18All shaped by the currents of the Silk Road.
04:21Unlike the stone-cut Buddhas of Longmen or Yungang.
04:22These figures feel more delicate.
04:23More lifelike.
04:24More human.
04:25Over 12 dynasties.
04:27Maijashan became a sanctuary for spiritual seekers.
04:28And a canvas for evolving faith.
04:29Each cave capturing a different moment in Chinese religious history.
04:30And a canvas for evolving faith.
04:31Each cave capturing a different moment in Chinese religious history.
04:32And a canvas for evolving faith.
04:33Each cave capturing a different moment in Chinese religious history.
04:37Yet its purpose remained.
04:39To guide the soul inside.
04:44Over 12 dynasties, Mai Jishan became a sanctuary for spiritual seekers and a canvas for evolving faith, each cave capturing a different moment in Chinese religious history.
05:03Yet its purpose remained, to guide the soul inward toward stillness.
05:14Built into a fault line cliff, it has survived earthquakes, empires and silence.
05:24What remains is more than art, it's a meditation carved into the bones of a mountain.
05:44Perched on the tip of a spire and wrapped in drifting clouds, this is one of China's most breathtaking temples, and one of its most remote.
05:58This is Guan Yin Temple.
06:12Built during the Ming Dynasty, over 1,600 meters above sea level, it honors the Bodhisattva of compassion.
06:21The summit is too narrow for more than a prayer.
06:31There's no road, only a steep hike, a wooden bridge, and the quiet determination to reach it.
06:39Locals believe that prayers offered here rise straight into the sky, and standing this close to the clouds, it's hard to argue.
06:59And standing this close to the clouds, it's hard to argue.
07:03At first it looks like a red wave.
07:25Thousands of wooden homes flowing across a mountain valley.
07:37But this isn't a city.
07:39This is Larung Gar, the world's largest Tibetan Buddhist academy.
07:53Perched 4,000 meters above sea level, in remote Sertar County, Sichuan Province, it was once home to tens of thousands of monks and nuns.
08:09Living, meditating and studying in quiet determination.
08:15The settlement is divided into male and female quarters, and everything here is self-contained.
08:31Dorms, temples, libraries, even cremation sites.
08:35The academy was founded during the post-cultural revolution, revival of Tibetan Buddhism, when faith returned quietly to the mountains.
08:51The Nying Ma school, one of the oldest traditions in Tibetan Buddhism, remains central to its teachings.
09:03The striking red colour, blanketing every rooftop, symbolizes purity, humility and spiritual focus.
09:13For many years, hardly anyone outside these mountains knew this place existed.
09:20But inside, life went on, quiet, steady and full of purpose.
09:31There's a calm rhythm here, built on discipline and shared belief.
09:39It's the kind of life you rarely see in today's world.
09:46People living not for themselves, but for something greater.
09:50Fanzingshan is one of China's five sacred Buddhist mountains.
10:15A place long seen as a gateway between the earthly and the divine.
10:31Its most iconic feature is the Red Clouds Golden Summit.
10:39Where two temples sit on twin rock spires, over 2,300 metres above sea level.
10:54One is said to be dedicated to Maitreya Buddha, the other to Shakyamuni.
11:06A narrow stone bridge connects them, suspended between peaks, sky and silence.
11:20The name Fanzing comes from Fantian Jintu, meaning Brahma's pure land.
11:25And the summit is believed to be the future site of enlightenment for Maitreya Buddha in the Mahayana tradition.
11:31For centuries, pilgrims have made the steep climb to this summit.
11:43Not just for the view, but for what it represents.
11:46Balance, rebirth and elevation of the spirit.
11:50The dramatic split of the summit reflects Buddhist ideas of duality.
12:05Two paths, two states of being.
12:08One sacred purpose.
12:11One sacred purpose.
12:16And even today, surrounded by mist and sky, it remains a living symbol of devotion rising above the noise of the world.
12:26One sacred purpose.
12:40In the rolling hills of Guiju stands a formation that looks too deliberate to be natural.
12:45A massive pyramid shaped mountain rising from farmland.
12:58Angular and near perfect.
13:02Locals have long wondered whether it's a geological coincidence or something more.
13:13There are no carvings, no records, just a silent shape that defies easy explanation.
13:30There's no myth to guide you, no plaque to read.
13:38Just the quiet pull of a place that feels intentional in a world full of questions.
13:43Tucked away in Gansu's Highlands is a fortress that remains largely unknown, even to those who live nearby.
14:02The Gansia octagonal fortress takes its name from its rare eight-sided shape.
14:19An architectural anomaly in Chinese history.
14:23Possibly built during the Tang or early Song dynasties, its original purpose remains unclear.
14:40Some believe it was a defensive outpost.
14:45Others see signs of spiritual use linked to the Tibetan Buddhist traditions that have long shaped the region.
15:01Its location tells part of the story set at a crossroads between Han Chinese and Tibetan cultural zones,
15:08where military strategy often overlapped with religious life.
15:11Inside the weathered walls lie the remains of stupas and temples, suggesting a deeper purpose beyond defence.
15:30The octagonal layout may reflect Tibetan cosmology, where eight directions symbolise balance and unity.
15:59There are no signs or visitor paths here, just the outline of a forgotten structure still echoing the past,
16:12quietly bridging history, culture and belief.
16:16The journey begins at the base of a cliff.
16:332,500 metal steps bolted into bare rock, rising through clouds and silence.
16:48Until 2016, there were no stairs.
16:59Only vine ladders swaying against a 1,400 metre drop.
17:14For a very long time, this was the only way in or out.
17:20Each step leads deeper into the Dalyang Mountains and further from the world below.
17:29You pass goats, scattered cornfields and nothing else.
17:37No roads, no signs, just stone, wind and the weight of something waiting.
17:58Then almost without warning, the cliff levels out and a village appears.
18:03A settlement carved into the side of a mountain.
18:22Here, the Yi people have lived in isolation for centuries.
18:36Their language, dress and spiritual traditions, rooted in shamanism and reverence for the land, remain alive in daily life.
18:45It's not a place designed to be found.
18:55But once you arrive, you understand why they stayed.
19:06Shaped by hand over more than 1,300 years, the rice terraces of Yu and Yang cascade across the mountains
19:34like ripples of time.
19:47Built by the honey people, this UNESCO World Heritage Site spans over 113 square kilometres.
19:57An intricate agricultural system, powered by gravity-fed spring water and generations of collective wisdom.
20:04The terraces reveal a vibrant mosaic of colours that shifts with the changing light.
20:22Setting them apart from ordinary rice fields.
20:32Honey cosmology, animism and feng shui guide the design of the land and the cultivation of life.
20:45Ducks, fish, snails and rice thrive side by side, forming a living ecosystem that nourishes both the mountain and its people.
20:56A quiet triumph of human ingenuity and nature in harmony.
21:02It feels like a place painted from memory.
21:25Drifting boats between fields of lotus, narrow paths above still water, islands dotted with blossoms.
21:40And karst peaks rising like shadows beyond the green.
21:47The land is quiet, but never still.
21:57The breeze moves gently through bamboo and reflections ripple with every passing boat.
22:12Almost hidden behind the cliffs, a small village appears.
22:22Xianrendong.
22:24The cave of the immortals.
22:35Built partly into stone, it's said to have once sheltered Taoist hermits seeking peace beyond the world.
22:46A few families still live here, growing rice and herbs as if untouched by time.
22:56Exactly the kind of place you'd expect immortals to leave behind.
23:17There are places that feel imagined, too dramatic, too balanced, too dreamlike to be real.
23:28Wangxianggu, the valley of immortal gazing is one of them.
23:38Here, granite peaks rise like ancient towers.
23:47Mist slips through the trees.
23:55Walkways cling to cliff sides.
24:04And waterfalls fall into still pools so perfectly placed.
24:14It's easy to believe this valley was carved with intention, not erosion.
24:23In Chinese culture, places like this are more than beautiful, they're spiritual.
24:31The valley recalls the timeless idea of Xianjing, immortal realms, found in Taoist texts and classical paintings.
24:46It remains largely unknown beyond the region, but among those who hike here, it is something else entirely.
24:56Not just a place to walk, but a place to wander inward.
25:06The valley doesn't sleep.
25:10At night, it's alive in a different way.
25:21When you draw the eye, movement fills the space.
25:24But somehow, it all feels more human.
25:28It doesn't look like Earth, but it is barely.
25:53This is Haidushan, or Blackdush Mountain.
26:04A volcanic landscape in the Kaidan Basin, formed by lava flows and millions of years of tectonic shift.
26:12Dark, jagged and silent, it's been called Mars on Earth for good reason.
26:22There's no water, no plants.
26:28Just black ridges torn by wind and time.
26:31Scientists come here to test rover technology.
26:42Filmmakers come to borrow its silence.
26:50But few travellers ever reach this place.
27:01It's a quiet reminder that China's natural extremes go far beyond what most people imagine.
27:09Not every wonder is lush or crowded.
27:12Some are vast, silent and almost forgotten.
27:19In places like Haidushan, emptiness isn't a void.
27:22It's the landscape itself.
27:24Raw, real and completely alive.
27:36The Kaidan Basin doesn't stop at silence and stone.
27:43Keep going, and the land begins to shimmer.
27:51Not with life, but with something that looks like it.
28:11This is Jade Lake.
28:21A patchwork of emerald and turquoise salt pools, perfectly still and impossibly bright.
28:33Formed by salt mining, not nature.
28:36Yet more beautiful than any design.
28:43The colour of each pool shifts with the sun, the minerals, even the bacteria below.
28:52A man altered landscape that somehow became divine.
29:01And just beyond it, something more volatile.
29:12Aiken Spring, known as the Devil's Eye, is a boiling sulphur spring that bubbles red.
29:18Gases hiss from the earth.
29:29Rings of heat-loving bacteria stain the ground in vivid bands.
29:33The air smells of minerals.
29:36The land feels unstable.
29:41Scientists come here to study extreme environments.
29:47Locals speak more cautiously.
29:53Some say this spring isn't just dangerous, it's a warning.
30:00It looks like a painting, but it's real.
30:18Carved not by brush, but by time.
30:31Zhang Yedanchia formed over 24 million years as sandstone and minerals settled in layers, then rose, cracked and folded into waves.
30:43Iron oxide turned the ridges red, while other minerals added streaks of yellow, blue and grey.
30:58Wind and rain did the rest.
31:00This rainbow mountain is one of China's most iconic landforms.
31:15And part of a Danxia landscape type found only in China.
31:19Other places may have colour, but nowhere else layers it like this, with such scale, texture and silence.
31:37.
31:42.
31:44.
31:46.
31:50.
31:55.
31:56.
31:57.
31:58.
31:59.
32:00.
32:03.
32:04In the middle of the Gobi Desert surrounded by golden dunes, there's a shape that seems
32:15too perfect to be real.
32:24A crescent of deep blue water curving gently between the sands.
32:32This is Crescent Lake, an oasis that has held its shape for over 2,000 years.
32:44Despite the dry winds and shifting dunes of Mingxia Mountain, the water never disappears,
32:51fed by a hidden underground spring.
33:02Beside it stands a small temple pavilion, a quiet shelter once used by Silk Road travellers.
33:16A resting place where stillness met belief.
33:27Even now reeds grow at its edge.
33:29The sands rise around it.
33:37And the crescent remains a quiet symbol of resilience, balance and the wonder of surviving in the
33:44harshest places.
34:02Carved into a riverside cliff in Sichuan, the Lashan Giant Buddha sits with calm hands.
34:08And a gaze that's watched over water and pilgrims for over 1,200 years.
34:26At 71 metres tall, it remains the largest stone Buddha in the world.
34:42It took 90 years to carve all by hand, beginning in the Tang Dynasty.
35:01Legend says the monk who started the project, Haitong, offered his own eyes to prove his devotion.
35:07But this wasn't just a monument, it was protection.
35:25Built at the meeting point of three rivers, it was meant to calm dangerous currents.
35:33And it worked.
35:35Even today the Buddha endures, a fusion of faith, nature and human will that continues
35:51to bring peace to those who pass beneath it.
36:05In this place, mountain and meaning become one.
36:11As the local saying goes, the Buddha is a mountain and the mountain is a Buddha.
36:16Along the Yi River near Luoyang, the Longmen Grottoes hold more than 100
36:46100,000 Buddhist statues.
36:53From towering Buddhas to tiny, delicate figures, just centimetres tall.
37:05The work began in 493 AD during the Northern Wei Dynasty and continued for centuries.
37:18The most famous of them all, the 17-metre Virokhana Buddha, was commissioned under the rule of Empress Wu Zetian.
37:28The only female emperor in Chinese history.
37:35Their image, some say, inspired the Buddha's face, calm, commanding and unmistakably royal.
37:47More than 2,300 caves and niches lined the cliffs.
37:52Filled with inscriptions, prayers and carvings that trace the evolution of Buddhist art.
38:01From Indian influenced forms to a distinctly Chinese style.
38:07These grottos weren't just religious, they were political.
38:12Created in a Confucian world, they used faith and art to project imperial authority, turning devotion into a tool of order and unity.
38:20Longmen remains one of China's greatest stone archives, a masterpiece of faith, ambition and artistry.
38:39And even now, the faces in the cliffs watch in silence.
38:44Worn by time, but still speaking through stone.
39:06Across the farmlands of Kaiping stand over 1,800 fortified towers, the Kaiping Diaolu.
39:23A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of China's most unusual architectural legacies.
39:29They were built in the late Qing and early Republic periods by overseas Chinese returning from Southeast Asia and the Americas.
39:42Concrete was rare at the time, but these towers rise boldly with Roman columns, Baroque domes and traditional Chinese roofs.
39:56Combining global ideas with local values.
40:03They were homes, watchtowers and monuments to wealth, but not vanity.
40:09Each one embodied a deep-rooted Confucian ethic.
40:14Protect the family, honour the ancestors, strengthen the village.
40:19This was a time when China was changing fast.
40:26And here in one place, migration, modernity, defence and tradition collided to create something entirely new.
40:37No other region in China, or the world, holds this fusion at such scale or historical depth.
40:54Deep in the mountains of Fujian, massive earthen structures rise like fortresses.
41:00Some circular, others square.
41:08These are the Tulu, built by the Hakka people centuries ago as fortified homes for entire clans.
41:19Made from packed earth, stone and wood, they were designed to withstand attacks and time.
41:25Some hold up to 800 people across five stories, with one main gate and no windows on the lower levels.
41:35Security shaped into architecture.
41:42Inside, life is communal.
41:44Each family lives in a vertical slice, equal in size and rights.
41:48They embody Confucian ideals, harmony, hierarchy and collective living.
41:59All built into the walls.
42:01It begins quietly.
42:14As glacial melt in the highlands of Qinghai, far to the west.
42:19But as it winds east, the river deepens, darkens and begins to carry more than just water.
42:21It begins quietly.
42:22As glacial melt in the highlands of Qinghai, far to the west.
42:40But as it winds east, the river deepens, darkens and begins to carry more than just water.
42:45This is the Yellow River.
42:57The cradle of Chinese civilization.
42:59It fed the first cities.
43:06It shaped dynasties.
43:08It whispered through ancient poems and carved through the hearts of mountains.
43:17For over 5,000 years it's been called the Mother River.
43:20Not because it's gentle, but because it gave life through chaos.
43:24Its floods destroyed empires.
43:26Its silt built farmlands.
43:27Its spirit became part of the land.
43:31Today, the Yellow River still ties together many of China's oldest places.
43:34Temples, grottos and sacred peaks.
43:37A current of memory beneath stone and soil.

43:59A current of memory beneath stone and soil.
44:03But to truly understand its power, you have to see where it roars.
44:24This is Huku Waterfall.
44:45Where China's Mother River crashes into stone.
44:49Soaring like thunder and churning with earth.
44:59Its name means teapot spout.
45:02As if the river is being poured from the sky itself.
45:16But it's not just water that falls.
45:18It's the land.
45:25Carrying the weight of centuries, the river is thick with lois.
45:29Fine windblown silt from the highlands.
45:35That's what gives it its colour.
45:40Depending on the season, the cascade widens from 20 to 50 metres.
45:50And always, it moves with force.
45:55Yeah, I'm proud.
45:58Yeah, I'm proud of you.
46:12Yeah.
46:16in the far reaches of Hunan the earth rises not in mountains but in pillars
46:32stone towers stretch hundreds of meters into the sky thin as needles cloaked in mist
46:46this is Zhangjiajie a place that doesn't just look surreal it feels imagined
47:06these quartz sandstone spires were carved by wind rain and time
47:17but what they inspired was something far newer the floating mountains of avatar
47:31and standing here surrounded by fog and vertical cliffs it's easy to see why
47:36long before hollywood found it Zhangjiajie lived in the chinese imagination as a vision of
47:51shanjing the immortal realms of taoist legend
47:56in art in myth and now in reality it represents escape
