The Bangdong Sea of Clouds season welcomes a peak of photography enthusiasts in Linxiang District, Lincang

In early winter, the Bangdong Sea of Clouds in Linxiang District, Lincang City arrives as expected, with the majestic sea of clouds surging over the Lancang River Gorge, attracting many photography lovers and tourists. At six in the morning, the first ray of sunlight pierces the darkness, the morning light penetrates the clouds, forming brilliant Tyndall beams that cast a golden glow over the sea of clouds, creating a spectacular scene. Veteran photographer Liu Chongxin remarked that this is his fifth year photographing the Bangdong Sea of Clouds. When there are clouds at sunrise, the Tyndall beams are quite beautiful; these clouds and mist are gifts from the Lancang River to the earth. On the viewing platform, visitors are immersed in the scene, raising cameras and phones to capture it; some pose creatively for group photos, while others spontaneously perform martial arts, blending in cultural fun. Tourist Su Xiaqin specially came from Kunming and said the Bangdong Sea of Clouds is truly stunning. In recent years, tourism facilities in Bangdong have been continuously improved, allowing visitors to arrive a day early and stay in nearby homestays, so they can enjoy the view at leisure the next day. Transportation conditions have significantly improved, making the journey to the mountains and sea more convenient. Come to Bangdong and experience this grandeur and tranquility!
