Following rainfall, the airborne farmland scenic area of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan province transformed into an ethereal wonderland on Monday.

Mist swirled around vertical sandstone pillars, and layers of jagged peaks extended into the distance like a stone forest.

Ancient farmland terraces clung miraculously to vertiginous cliff faces hundreds of meters above ground level. This breathtaking fusion of geological marvels and human agricultural heritage created a living ecological masterpiece.
