Mountains in the Zhagana region of Diebu county, Tibetan autonomous prefecture are shrouded in fog just before dawn, after light rainfall on June 23.

The Zhagana region is often referred to as a "land of stones" due to its rocky outcrops and craggy hills, mountains and gorges. The looming precipices rise up over scattered farmland, rivers, Tibetan villages and temples.

The area's distinct natural scenery attracts many visitors from all over the world each year.
