On a flight to northwest China, I was captivated by the scenery below as we passed over Jiuquan, Gansu. From high above, the earth unfolds like a natural scroll. The endless mountains bear wrinkles—traces of time. The river winding through, a striking blue like the earth’s clear, deep eyes. Through my lens, I hope more feel Jiuquan’s stunning beauty: nature’s ruggedness merged with vitality.
