The Guan'E Valley Scenic Area in northwest China's Gansu Province has welcomed its first snowfall in autumn.
While the valley forests still retain their vibrant summer greenery, swirling snowflakes have dusted the landscape, casting a delicate white veil across the mountains.
The mountains saw both autumn and winter at the same time as the fresh snowfall clings to emerald branches while shifting mists weave through snow-dusted peaks.
Guan'E Valley is a 5A-rated national geopark and forest park in Tanchang County, Longnan City, famous for its deep gorges, pristine lakes and cascading waterfalls.

China Media Group (CMG) has completed the recording of its annual Mid-Autumn Festival Gala in Huainan, a city in east China's Anhui province, showcasing traditional Chinese cultural charm powered entirely by clean energy.
Set along the banks of the Huaihe River and deeply rooted in the region's rich cultural heritage, the gala is designed to deliver an audiovisual feast featuring classical Chinese romanticism. It is scheduled to air nationwide on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, which falls on Friday, Sept 26.
The main stage, located in the lake area of Huainan People's Park, blended rippling water and moonlight to create a serene and beautiful atmosphere.
Organizers adopted a customized "one program, one lighting design" approach, seamlessly integrating lighting with artistic performance to accentuate the gala's vibe.
The entire production was powered completely by clean, green energy.
"We keep a close eye on how much electricity the equipment was using second by second, and patrolled more than 30 spots around the set to ensure that the power supply stays steady and reliable," said Shi Lei, deputy director of the digital smart distribution network department at State Grid Huainan Power Supply Company.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar. Around China, people celebrate the day by gathering for moon-gazing, eating mooncakes, and lighting colorful lanterns.
