A mountain in Hubei province has become an internet sensation, with its unique karst landscape resembling a puppy lying on its stomach, drawing millions of views on social media platforms.

Its scenery is reputed by many Chinese to be the "finest under heaven", or directly from Chinese: "the mountains and rivers in Guilin are the number one under the heaven." ...

Yet since the Tang Dynasty, legions of tourists have poured into Guilin to take in its otherworldly terrain: Conical mountains rising abruptly out of the flatlands, coated in lush greenery.
