5 Real Mountain Landscapes in Asia That Look Impossible

Across Asia, ordinary geological forces have created places that seem to belong to another planet. This documentary explores five real landscapes—and the slow processes that shaped them. From the perfectly rounded Chocolate Hills of Bohol and the volcanic Sea of Sand surrounding Mount Bromo to Cappadocia’s fairy chimneys, the colorful ridges of Zhangye, and the towering stone pillars of Wulingyuan and Zhangjiajie, each landscape tells a different chapter of Earth’s history. Along the way, we explore their geology, immense scale, changing weather, and the relationship between people and the landscapes around them.
