Misty mountains echo ancient brushstrokes

Morning mist rises over the mountains at 6 am as the sun begins to light Shucheng in Anhui Province. The peaks and valleys fade into silhouettes that resemble a traditional Chinese shanshuihua, or "mountain-water painting." The scene captures the quiet landscapes and offers a moment of calm and serenity.
