We began our journey with an ambitious climb at 1:00 pm on June 28, taking the stone stairs all the way to the top of the mountain.
At 6:00 pm, it started to rain, and we found ourselves sheltering at a rest area for over an hour. Watching the raindrops hover and then drop was oddly beautiful.
The next morning, we headed to Guangming Peak, and the moment I reached the top, I was speechless. The view was surreal — as if I were floating among the clouds.
I had planned to experiment with long exposure photography, but the weather didn't cooperate. We had to return, but I am determined to capture those shots on another trip.
