Yunlong Tai Chi Diagram - A Masterpiece of Nature

After leaving Yunlong in the morning, I ascended to the best viewing point for the Yunlong Tai Chi Diagram, the 'Yunlong Tai Chi Viewing Platform'. The Tai Chi Diagram in the morning is shrouded in a misty veil of dawn fog, resembling a fairyland. However, from a photography standpoint, if possible, it would be better to schedule the visit in the afternoon when the lighting is more favorable. The winding river outlines the yin and yang sides of the Tai Chi in a large alluvial plain in the mountains, with small hills and villages in the middle embellishing the two Tai Chi eyes. It is exquisitely lifelike, truly a miraculous work of nature's craftsmanship!
