This is an autumnal season when the northern hemisphere’s sunshine hours are shorter and nighttime temperatures drop faster, causing moisture to condense into crystal clear dew drops. The poetic name “White Dew” originates from the ancient people’s observation of nature’s nuances. Our planet is also like a crystal clear blue-green pearl.
