Nature just dropped its latest visual masterpiece in southwestern China! Niubei Mountain in Sichuan Province’s Ya'an has become the internet’s newest obsession thanks to its surreal 'waterfall clouds' – a jaw-dropping phenomenon where sunset-lit mist cascades down the slopes like liquid sky.
The scene transforms the mountain into something straight out of a Studio Ghibli film, with photographers and travelers racing to capture the fleeting golden-hour magic. One visitor described it as 'watching heaven pour into the valleys' – and honestly, we get it.
Local weather experts say the effect occurs when moist air currents dance with the mountain’s unique topography. But you don’t need a science degree to appreciate this vibe – just follow the crowds of Gen Z shutterbugs and nature influencers heading to Ya'an before the seasonal show ends!
