Advection fog cloaks towering Ferris wheel in Chongqing

In the early hours of a recent morning, the hills of Chongqing's Fuling district were shrouded in a dense layer of misty advection fog, creating an ethereal landscape where a towering Ferris wheel seemed to float like an alien contraption in the sky.

Advection fog occurs when warm, humid air cools as it moves over colder land or water, a common occurrence in this city of mountains and rivers.

Situated in Meixin Wine Town, a scenic spot in Fuling, the Ferris wheel is the tallest structure in the area. Positioned atop a mountain nearly 700 meters above sea level, the 110-meter Ferris wheel reaches toward the sky. From this lofty perch, riders are offered a sweeping panorama of lush, forested mountains.
