When snow falls on Garze in Southwest China's Sichuan province, the mountainous city always transforms itself into a magical winter wonderland. Snowfields, glaciers, forests, hot springs and sunshine on the plateau, all covered in white, continue to demonstrate their beauty and shine.

As everything on earth welcomes the New Year, Tenzin (Dingzhen in Mandarin) and his hometown are also ready for new beginnings.

The year 2020 has been an extremely unique year for the entire world, as COVID-19 swept across the globe and humanity experienced an entire year suffused in gloom. We are more than ready to bid farewell.

Here, a Chinese youth sends out his purest New Year's greetings to the world. Beneath the snowy mountains, mulberry smoke rises! May the snow of the plateau blanket and take away all illnesses and disasters. The good and the beautiful will return!
