Pyramid-shaped mountains in Anlong County, southwest Guizhou Province, became a popular attraction, drawing thousands of tourists from across China eager to see this new spectacle, likened to the pyramids of Egypt.
"I think this mountain is very similar to a pyramid, and according to the staff, its height and elevation angle, and even latitude, are very similar to the pyramid," claimed Yang, a visitor.
In March, an aerial photography enthusiast filmed the pyramidal mountains near Anlong and posted the video on Douyin, China's version of TikTok. The video, capturing the mountains at sunset, quickly garnered over 4 million views and more than 1,000 comments.
Footage taken on Monday shows towering mountains shaped like pyramids, but covered in lush greenery.
"I feel this mountain is very imposing, grandiose, and full of mystery," she shared.
According to media reports, local tourism centres have begun to improve infrastructure in the area, including the construction of viewing platforms and visitor centres to meet the needs of tourists. During the five-day May Day holiday, the new attraction reportedly attracted 61,000 visitors, many from outside Guizhou, including Beijing and Shanghai.
Media reports indicated that the mountains naturally formed around 200 million years ago, thanks to dolomite, which creates the pyramid shape. This formation is also attributed to climate change and geological processes.
Guizhou Province in southwest China is 1,100 metres high and 92.5 per cent mountainous, making it the most mountainous region in the country.
