Morning light pierces the veil of mist over rural areas of Chongqing in SW China

Photo taken on Oct.6, 2025 shows the Tieqiao Village in Daguan Town, Nanchuan District, southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, being enveloped in advection fog. Morning light pierced through the ethereal mist, forming distinct beams of light known as the Tyndall effect. These beams framed the village shrouded in light and shadow alongside a speeding high-speed train, creating a harmonious painting of rural beauty where stillness and movement coexist.
