Human beings have been exploring the profound meaning of nature. We explore the way of harmonious coexistence between people, animals and nature by exploring various extreme natural landforms and the life on this land. This time, we crossed the different ecology in the four corners of China, and tried to communicate with heaven and earth by exploring four awesome animals, by trying to feel them. They used to be totems in ancient times, and they were the animals at the top of the food chain - the Siberian tiger, the king of the forest, the white dolphin, the sea elf, the giant Asian elephant in the rainforest, and the wild yak, the messenger of the snow mountain. These four animals, known as flagship species, coexist with heaven and earth, coexist with human beings, and help human beings to dialogue with nature in a special way. The Land of the Gods is where those magical communications take place.
