How to read this ranking
TikHub search samples were gathered with province-level and place-specific queries. The heat index is normalized within each region, so it should never be compared across regions. This is not an official or exhaustive Rednote ranking.
Opening hours, access, seasonal conditions and safety requirements can change. Verify current information before visiting, especially for highlands, hiking, rafting and remote drives.
