New Year's Challenge

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I have failed to locate it so I am throwing it as a challenge to expert here!


The image and some discussions can be found in where-is-this.

Please post GE/GM/GSV/Blue dot or as a last resort, if nothing else is available, its GM Photo.

Please do not give answer here and don't send me PM. If it can be found then I will redouble my efforts to locate it.

Yes I agree with hhgygy . In the hand posted by Walter_V_R , the little finger and fourth finger are away from each other, while in the OP these are touching each other.

The hand posted by Walter_V_R is located in Sirao Pictorial Garden & Camping Site (PGCS), Cebu, Philippines.

Below is its frontal view.

I think yours is in China and the only source I have found points to a city that doesn't seem to be the place.

Original Tiktok video of mystery hand here.

With the blue and red roofs I also would guess China but not the one in Qingyuan City, Guangdong Scenic Area.

I don't have a Tiktok account (don't want one either) so can not access the comments.

The music clip seems to have been flipped:

a very good job indeed, bridgeplayer!

at the very same place, there are probably such (a) big hand(s) on the right of that ***, see the shape of the island! ("reversed" means image from the OP)



now, the point is to find in that language images-with-this-big-hand that confirm the place

Indeed.

Sorry for my first mistake. I didn't know that this was such a popular structue.

The music clip was likely shot from this (spectacular) place:

I think I got it:

And looking for 阳新仙岛湖 大手 (where the first is the reservoir and the second is for "big hand" in Chinese) I get this:

Check out this link

a very good team job, isn't it?

though those 2 hands are not the same one even if in the same area, see the ring finger & the little finger


CuriousJM , challenge mission accomplished!

Maybe a prototype of the real thing, shorter and not yet in need of a safety net.

Yes it has been a very good team effort. Thank you farceur , krenek , bridgeplayer  , Walter_V_R and hhgygy . 

Kudos to bridgeplayer for reaching the spot first.


I will add it soon in my Giant Hands Collection.

What a brilliant job!   I couldn't get past this video which is clearly not the same area - no sea.   It would seem like the giant hands are a 'thing' and there's more than one and more than one girl prepared to jig about at that height.

Well done.

Lock the hand in your video is in Qingyuan Gulong Gorge, Ecological Tourist Zone, near Qingyuan City, China

That seemed to have come together pretty well if I may say so.

Excellent find Bridge and excellent collaboration all.

A few more to add to the collection CJM.
