Every time it clears up after rain, clouds and fog rise in the Piedmont Zizhu Valley, forming a magnificent sea of clouds, and the Buddha light comes out of the clouds.

Shennongjia is famous for its sea of clouds. When it is sunny in the afternoon, when the rain and snow stop, when the sun is shining, a thousand strands of silver silk are flowing like silk ribbons, and suddenly they are like silver waterfalls flying straight down. In an instant, the clouds are surging and become a vast ocean. The peaks appear and disappear in the waves, and sometimes the Buddha light appears in the sea of clouds. Tianmenya and YANZIYA are the most famous places where Buddha light appears. At that time, a gorgeous halo hung above the sea of clouds. It was colorful, golden, soft and reflected in the sea of clouds. Visitors can see their own figures shrouded in a colorful halo, and their shadows move with them.

Whenever the Buddha light appears, the world seems to become a peaceful and beautiful place.
