Step 1: Start with the sunrise feeling

Before anything else, imagine the morning.
The sky still navy.
The river quiet and silver, moving slowly like it’s still dreaming.
The mountains wrapped in soft mist.
The bamboo rafts floating gently, barely making a sound.
Then the horizon warms — slow, golden, gentle — like it’s waking up just for you.
This is the mood you plan from.
Soft.
Simple.
Sunrise first, everything else after.
