As the New Year dawns, many places in Yunnan have witnessed the mesmerizing and picturesque scenery of cloud seas and swirling mists. Reporters and photography enthusiasts captured numerous splendid moments through their lenses. 

In Kunming, early risers flock to Xishan (Western Hills) for a hiking, seeking a panoramic view. From this vantage point, you can see a misty vista with Dianchi Lake nearby and high-rise buildings in the distance emerging faintly through the haze. At dawn, the surging mists of the Lancang River Grand Canyon and the Gaoligong Mountains unfold like a slowly opening scroll, with the first light of day painting the sky. Rays of golden sunlight pierce through clouds, creating a spectacular scene. In Luoping, the sun rises over the Nase Mountain Peaks Sea, you can see clear layers of mountains in the distance, with the mist fading away. In the Xinping County of Yuxi, the sun bathes the grand landscape in hues of red, highlighting the majestic beauty of the mountains and rivers.
