Chinese Pyramids
From The Red Pill
The pyramids of China are approximately 100 ancient mounds, many of which were used for burial. Most of them are located within 100 kilometers of the city of Xi'an, on the Qin Chuan Plains in the Shaanxi Province, central China.

Recognition in the West
The existence of pyramids in China has come in two stages. US Air Force pilot James Gaussman is said to have seen a white jewel-topped pyramid during a flight between India and China during World War II, but there is scant evidence for a source on this story. It is now believed though that this story was actually based on the experience of Colonel Maurice Sheahan, Far Eastern director of Trans World Airlines. Colonel Sheahan gave an eyewitness account of his encounter with a pyramid in the March 28, 1947 edition of The New York Times, while a photo of the pyramid appeared in The New York Sunday News on March 30, 1947. It is apparently this image which was later attributed to James Gaussman.
It is now known, thanks to the efforts of Chris Maier, that the particular pyramid shown in the photo is the Maoling Mausoleum. This pyramid sits just outside of Xi'an. In 1994, German tour operator and author Hartwig Hausdorf was noted for photographing and studying several pyramids. He drew attention to the structures' existence with his 1994 book Die Weisse Pyramide, the subject of an article in Nexus Magazine in 1995 by Philip Coppens, which was later translated into English under the revised title The Chinese Roswell. Hausdorf's images were circulated widely on the Internet during the late 1990s, in the wake of the widespread interest in worldwide pyramid cultures (due largely to the bestseller Fingerprints of the Gods, by Graham Hancock).
The pyramids of Xi'an can now be visited on trips from Xi'an and no longer are located in "forbidden zones". Several pyramids have small museums attached to them. The anecdotal "Great White Pyramid" itself, as described by Sheahan, remains unidentified.
