Peaks of influence

A former tour guide's series of popular short videos of Zhangjiajie have partly inspired - and ultimately contributed to - the recently announced cooperation between the destination and the Kuaishou travel app, Xu Lin reports.

Zhou Tiansong is no longer a tour guide at Zhangjiajie - at least in the conventional sense.

The 26-year-old now shows the area to much larger audiences online as an influencer with nearly 1.3 million followers on the popular Chinese short-video app, Kuaishou.
