Mist turns Xinjiang's Altay into fairyland-like scene

Recent mist has wrapped a town of Habahe County in Altay Prefecture, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, creating a poetic, fairyland-like scene.

The mist blanketed the landscape, where buildings, streets, and trees appeared as faint silhouettes in the lingering moisture, lending the air a fresh, damp quality -- an ethereal scene unfolding like a traditional Chinese ink painting.

The mist formed from the interplay of moisture-laden spring air and the stark temperature contrast between day and night. This unique meteorological phenomenon adds a touch of poetic charm to Habahe in spring.

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi has described his visit to China as highly significant and productive, with the two sides holding in-depth talks on bilateral relations and all the pressing issues Iran currently faces.

Araghchi, who visited China on Wednesday and held talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, said in an interview with Iranian state-run IRIB news agency that post-war Iran is entering a new phase of international cooperation.

"Our Chinese friends also believe that Iran after the war is different from Iran before the war, that it has proven its capabilities and strength. Therefore, a new phase of cooperation between Iran and other countries lies ahead," he said.

The foreign minister said the two sides reviewed a full range of current issues and yielded fruitful results.

"We reviewed all the current issues, matters related to the war and how to end it, the negotiations currently under way, issues related to Iran's nuclear program and the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear activities, matters related to sanctions, and all bilateral issues. The issue of the Strait of Hormuz, which was one of our serious topics, and the necessity of respecting the rights of the Islamic Republic of Iran, along with all existing viewpoints, were also discussed," he said.
