As the sun gradually ascends, its radiant beams infuse the surroundings with vitality.

Before sunrise, a magnificent scene unfolds in Wangzhouding, Guangxi. After sunrise, the once obscure sea of clouds and hills is bathed in luminous light, unveiling a spectacle of brightness and clarity. The transformation is awe-inspiring, as if nature herself awakens from slumber, casting aside the shadows of night to embrace the new day.
