The sea of clouds is a unique natural landscape of Awa Mountain. Especially in autumn and winter, the sea of clouds in Wa Mountain is the most spectacular. The radiation in Awa Mountain is intense at night, and the warm air in the low-altitude valley meets the cold air descending along the mountain at high altitude, which leads to the formation of a thick sea of clouds below the inversion layer and covers the quiet valley. In the morning, the fog is boundless, like a light silver belt winding the mountainside; After sunrise, the fog took a farewell to the green hills, and layers of ancient villages clearly appeared in front of us, staying quietly at the foot of the mountain like a remote paradise, as if in a fairyland.
at noon, when the temperature rises, the clouds begin to roll and rush sharply, and the mountains and the sea of clouds are flickering, and thousands of scenes are integrated. The sea of clouds in Awa Mountain formed at midnight and gradually dissipated after 11 o'clock the next day. Some peaks pierce the clouds, stand abruptly in the sky, like bamboo shoots unearthed, and the hilltops are floating on the mountainside in the middle of the sea of clouds, and the sampans are rippling in the waves of the sea of clouds.
