Applicants must have photography and videography experience, own their filming and editing equipment, and be able to produce videos independently.
They also need a Douyin account that has been active for at least 30 days and contains at least 10 published videos.
To be qualified for the job, candidates must post an original video showing Laojun Mountain’s snowy scenery on Douyin between Nov. 3 and Nov. 10.
Those shortlisted will be asked to provide a screenshot of the video’s total views and a real-time screen recording showing its publication time, location tag, hashtag and performance statistics.
In August, nearly 3,600 people in China applied for a similar job paying almost 60,000 yuan a month to live atop Laojun Mountain and film clouds each day.
Located at the height of 2,217 meters, Mount Laojun is a core scenic area of the Funiu Mountain National Geopark, preserving evidence of geological evolution dating back 1.9 billion years.
The mountain is known for its distinctive tectonic denudation peak forests and vast stone forests.
China’s domestic tourism sector expanded in both travel volume and spending in the first nine months of 2026, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism said.
The country recorded more than 5.3 billion domestic trips from January to September, up 6.2% from the same period last year.
