In the early morning of November 12th, just as dawn broke, the surrounding areas of Yuxi's central urban district were enveloped in a thin layer of mist and clouds. Captured by a drone, the mist and clouds looked like loosened cotton wool, gently wrapping half of the city's buildings. The interplay between the morning hustle (of the city) and the mist and clouds formed a stunning picture, adding a unique morning makeup to Yuxi in early winter, which was incredibly beautiful.
