Boating on the Lugu Lake is like meandering through a wonderland made of mist. Seagulls were hovering in the sky, black feathers flapping against the still cold morning wind. People dressed up and left early to get to this place, only to find that they became one part of nature themselves. What’s fun without humans and nature mixed together? Even the woman who captured this ink wash painting like scenery was amazed by what she saw on her camera, telling her friends that it was more wonderful to take pictures of others, considering how peaceful and aesthetic the whole image was.

The footage was filmed by Ms. Yuan, in Hongqiao, Lijiang, Yunnan, at 7:30, on December 28, 2024.

The uploader says, “I woke up early this morning to enjoy the morning mist on the lake, and it did not fail me. Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what might surprise you next.”
