Guess where this painting-like picture was taken? It is not some faraway wilderness, but in suburban Beijing, capital of China. An early rain of spring moisturized the mountain area of the Huairou District on its outskirts Sunday, creating a sea of clouds, a rare scene in Beijing. Slide through the gallery below to appreciate the rare natural beauty!
