小貼士:How to increase the probability of seeing the sea of clouds
There had been light rain or showers the night before, but it cleared up before dawn and there was sufficient moisture in the valley;
The wind is very light (level 1~2) from night to early morning, and the strong wind will disperse the fog;
The temperature difference between day and night is large, the temperature drops at night, and water vapor condenses into fog;
There are few clouds in the sky, the mountain tops are exposed above the fog layer, and the valleys are foggy, so the sea of clouds appears.
Best time:Half an hour to an hour before and after sunrise, the sea of clouds dissipates quickly after the sun rises.
