Beautiful starry sky in NW China’s Xinjiang

On the evening of January 4, 2025, in the Nuerjia Grand Canyon of Changji City, Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture, northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the reporter captured stunning images of the starry sky. Despite the frigid winter night, where temperatures dropped for nine consecutive days, the starry sky appeared particularly vibrant. Stars sparkled like pearls in the night, and the clear patterns of the constellations were captivating. The breathtaking beauty of the sky was truly remarkable.

In this tranquil landscape, far from the city’s noise, the stars shine brightly, each telling its own story of the universe. The reporter stood at the edge of the canyon, and despite the biting cold wind, he felt deeply moved by the vastness and splendor surrounding him. Using a drone, he captured stunning images that showcased the beauty of the stars.

From time to time, meteors streak through the sky, leaving behind a brief and brilliant trail, as if they are messengers of the universe conveying mysterious information across the vastness of space-time. It is often said that dreams come true when you make a wish upon a meteor. Under the shining stars, each wish seems to hold even more possibilities.

The rock walls of the Nuerjia Grand Canyon are even more magnificent under the starlight. The incredible craftsmanship of nature, combined with the vastness of the universe, creates a breathtaking scene. In this moment, time seems to stand still, allowing people to forget the troubles of the world and simply immerse themselves in this tranquil beauty.
