For an image subreddit with minimal rules, check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

aaah, the left half of that pic is all Vietnam.

Cao Bang waterfalls.

[–]liamoylan 20 points21 points ago

I was there a few weeks ago (NSFW)

[–]username_redacted 27 points28 points ago

warning: naked white man.

[–]sexyhamster89 10 points11 points ago

Respectable dick you have there

[–]lube_thighwalker 3 points4 points ago

Were they scared?

[–]liamoylan 2 points3 points ago

Till I whipped out my ... smile :-)

[–]Arknell 2 points3 points ago

Warning: Epic Meal time

[–]danguro 0 points1 point ago

Is that Jason Statham? Naked?!

[–]Arknell 2 points3 points ago

Well-spotted. OP has false information.

[–]liamoylan 4 points5 points ago

Cheers. :-) It's not completely false though. The river is literally the border. We were only allowed to swim halfway... Bastards wouldn't let us swim to China.

[–]Arknell 1 point2 points ago

I've made a huge mistake.

[–]Hermit_ 8 points9 points ago

Thats clearly Pandaria IRL

[–]SensibleMadness 64 points65 points ago

Totally agree.

[–]ofinny[S] 28 points29 points ago

Haha you're right. Should have said "SOME parts of China are unbelievably beautiful."

[–]fotorobot 21 points22 points ago

some parts of China that have not been ruined by China.

[–]TheClayroo -5 points-4 points ago

So much space, so little used.

[–]johansantana17 4 points5 points ago

I know you know this is false.

[–]TheClayroo 0 points1 point ago

Indeed. Wrong sub to make light.

[–]kralrick 4 points5 points ago

Some parts of every country are unbelievably beautiful. But yes, that picture is lovely.

[–]eviljolly 1 point2 points ago

For the most part, a beautiful picture, but these kind of ruin it for me.

Ah, that's better

[–]friendlymaniac 0 points1 point ago

Industrial Paradise! [謹防煙霧!]

[–]fiat_lux_ 1 point2 points ago

From a distance (that spans the Pacific Ocean, seen only through a cyberspace medium), that scene is beautiful in its own way.

[–]Kylrgn 10 points11 points ago

new desktop background, thanks.

[–]ofinny[S] 1 point2 points ago

My pleasure

[–]drbojangles 4 points5 points ago

[–]Bearded_Axe_Wound 7 points8 points ago

The Elder Scrolls VI: Fucking China

[–]ofinny[S] 5 points6 points ago

Somebody call Bethesda

[–]NorskForce 2 points3 points ago

fuckinghomepage.com look familiar?

[–]ossger 0 points1 point ago

Saw it there earlier today as well haha.

[–]MustacheEmperor 2 points3 points ago

Twist: All those clouds are actually smog from one of the nearby industrial areas that are turning the country into a blackened wasteland.

[–]WHATD_YOU_EXPECT 2 points3 points ago

The BBC series "Wild China" is on Netflix streaming.

You'd all love it as I.

[–]Flicker913 2 points3 points ago

Other than the fact that china has whole towns that have huge cancer risks due to heavy smog and no regulations over there. Not so beautiful.

[–]Sam_Jam_Goose 3 points4 points ago

Did you know those aren't clouds, it's smog from Beijing.

[–]rwat128 1 point2 points ago

Our great empire is indeed beautiful. That is why the four corners of the earth send tribute to our Celestial court. Dignified China deserves respect and tribute.

[–]RoadToSerfdom 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, I can see why the government is so scared of the Chinese people.

[–]loggedintohateyou -1 points0 points ago

To put it one way, it's the Chinese proletariat they're scared of not the Chinese bourgeoisie. The people have almost no control whatsoever, it's the government and the rich that do all their talking. Just look at things like the Three Gorges Dam project. The government workers stole most of the money that was supposed to be used to relocate the affected people and then just left them for dead. It also destroyed a lot of their land, religious monuments, villages etc.

[–]ForeverAvailable 1 point2 points ago

I watched Wild China on Netflix a while back... Some of the most gorgeous places ever!

[–]MagnificentBasterd 0 points1 point ago

I was high and tried watching it, but I started getting bored, so I went for the Matrix "I know kung-fu" effect and stared really hard at the screen while fast forwarding it as quick as possible. I felt like it was effective enough -- gorgeous country.

[–]mattlikespeoples 0 points1 point ago

Which dlc is this from?

[–]chibiken 1 point2 points ago

Which area of China was this? :)

[–]fotorobot 5 points6 points ago

apparently it's the part of China that is actually located in Vietnam.

[–]Seattleson -1 points0 points ago

..and incredibly inefficient at farming.

[–]A_Flying_Hobo 0 points1 point ago

Fuckinghomepage...

[–]MaritimeLawyer 0 points1 point ago

What they don't tell you is that water is green because of the toxic waste from the iPad factory up the river

[–]Flat_out_no_lube -1 points0 points ago

So was Shanghai 20 years ago.

[–]GoodGuyRick -1 points0 points ago

I wish I didn't only see these places in pictures...

[–]vusumimake -1 points0 points ago

this had [fixed] written all over it. in chinee.

[–]Mrvoodoochild1 0 points1 point ago

You just have to get past the communist part

[–]tmadd1 -1 points0 points ago

so is this where they make the sneakers?

[–]crusty_foreskin 0 points1 point ago

Looks humid.

[–]Arknell 0 points1 point ago

Whoops, googled China+pollution

[–]waterbug22 0 points1 point ago

Repost from 15 days ago

[–]goldenrod 0 points1 point ago

Hey it's Pandaria!

[–]Whitemenstyranny 0 points1 point ago

That looks exactly like where Sele'na spawns in Valley of the Four Winds in Pandaria. Almost uncanny similiarities....

[–]Shippoyasha 0 points1 point ago

The creators of Shenmue 2 based the final location of the game on China's beauty and natural wonders. They didn't need to put in mythology and spiritualism much. Because it was already abundant in nature.

[–]Nodebunny 0 points1 point ago

more communist lies!

[–]Vivi_Ortiner -1 points0 points ago

That expansion is trash. Annoying pandas everywhere. Plus doing dailies is not fun.

[–]2LabsGuy 0 points1 point ago

Sure, as long as you're not in Beijing.

[–]DrunkenRedditMan 0 points1 point ago

Serious question, why do the mountains in China (or at least this part of China) look so much different from the ones over here in the states? This is an inelegant way of putting it but they just look so much more... pointy and steep than ours do. I'm guessing it has something to do with the type of rock they are/ the way they were formed. If someone could enlighten me on this issue I would be forever grateful.

[–]Mercury1600 0 points1 point ago

Those mountains will break with in a week

[–]r2002 0 points1 point ago

The secret ingredient is formaldehyde.

[–]DeliciousKiwi 0 points1 point ago

Hehe, as I zoom this picture in and out on RES it looks like the water is moving . . . or maybe I'm just really drunk. Both are likely true.

[–]nnnos 0 points1 point ago

seems to me its not china...but vietnam.

[–]shockingnews213 -1 points0 points ago

No life: Yeah but it WoW:MoP is also cool.

[–]xanga451 -2 points-1 points ago

False where are the sweatshops?

[–]LuigiFebrozzi -1 points0 points ago

Too bad the flora and fauna is fucking peppered with agent orange, lead and mercury

[–]payswithfacial -5 points-4 points ago

I guess that's why smart ppl choose to live a simple life there.
