Nestled in the mountains, the dreamlike Lugu Lake shines like glass. In April, the lake's clear and pristine waters reflect the blue sky and white clouds, where the interplay of light and shadow add to the beauty of the landscape, creating a poetic and picturesque scene. In the area of Lige Island in Ninglang County of Lijiang City in Yunnan Province, small droplet-shaped island floats like pendant on the blue glass-like surface of the lake from an aerial view, creating a surreal and enchanting view that inspires longing. (Editors: Ines, Amy)
