The photo, taken on the morning of July 9, shows a breathtaking spectacle of sunrise over a sea of clouds at Wanfo Mountain National Geopark in Tongdao Dong Autonomous County. Amid the mist, thousands of Danxia peaks rise abruptly from the ground, resembling an ink-wash painting. With forest coverage exceeding 90%, Wanfo Mountain boasts up to 60,000 negative oxygen ions per cubic centimeter. The mountain is known as a critical ecological shield for the Hunan-Guangxi-Guizhou border region. Once the summer rains clear and sunshine returns, it becomes an ideal time to witness the spectacular 'sea of clouds' phenomenon in the Danxia landform. (Photo/Su Yongzhu)
