Finding Tranquility in China’s Extraordinary Wuling Mountains

The Red Clouds Golden Summit is the pinnacle of tranquility. A spire of rock rising upward from China’s Mount Fanjingshan in the Wuling Mountains, it soars above the clouds. Two temples sit atop this isolated natural wonder—the Temple of the Buddha and the Maitreya Temple. Buddhists come here to worship and take in the natural beauty of China’s most biodiverse mountain reserve, named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Can you please make videos longer? The content is great, but not very deep. The intros are sometimes 1/5 of the video.

Imagine taking a nap on the grass there and rolling over lmao 🤭

If the Legend of Zelda has taught me anything, it's that there is some very important treasure up there.

This video is insultingly short. You didn't even show the inside of the buildings. This is nothing more than a video postcard. This channel is becoming more and more superficial.

*”we have finally finished the temple!”*
*” How do we get down?”*
*”oops”*

[Sinister.]

Can you imagine hauling the furniture up there...

Meeting at Great Big News office: Editor: Come in and take a seat. Right, I would like you to fly to China, take a minute's worth of drone footage of some mountains and fly back. All clear? Journalist: Yes, understood.
Editor: Great. Have it on my desk by Friday.

We need a more in depth story of this place. It looks fascinating but why is this video so short?

[YoHoosierDaddy]

This is the kind of place when you see in a videogame, and spent days finish quests trying to get there.
