Seeing the sun turn around

看太陽轉(zhuǎn)身

Hani autonomous county of Mojiang, Southwest China's Yunnan province is located on the northern tropic. Every year on the Summer Solstice, the sun sits directly over the Tropic of Cancer and returns from north to south. Then, the amazing phenomenon known as "upright pole with no shadows" occurs.

云南省墨江哈尼族自治縣位于北回歸線上。每年夏至，太陽會(huì)直射北回歸線，而后太陽直射點(diǎn)將從北半球逐漸南移至南半球。此時(shí)就會(huì)出現(xiàn)“立竿不見影”的奇觀。

The Hani people revere the sun. They welcome the turn-around of the sun and offer sacrifices to it.

哈尼族人崇拜太陽，每年夏至日，他們都會(huì)喜迎“太陽轉(zhuǎn)身”，并獻(xiàn)上祭品。
