This is an excellent entry of the 2011 National Geographic Global Photography Contest China Region, shot by photographer Yang Yongming. It presents the stunning sunset scenery of the plateau river valley in Xizang, China. The clear deep blue sky is dotted with scattered clouds, sunlight pierces through cloud gaps, casting bright golden shimmer on the calm river, while distant layered mountains form soft dark silhouettes. The vast view fully shows the majestic and pure beauty of plateau natural landscape.
