Crossing the Tropic of Cancer, I arrived at the place where the sun turns around

Mojiang, a place known as 'the place where the sun turns around.' It has always haunted my dreams, and today I finally made it here. The Tropic of Cancer passes through Mojiang County, hence it is also known as 'the home of the Hani, the city of the Tropic, and the home of twins.' The Mojiang Tropic of Cancer Marker Park, located to the west of Mojiang County town and themed around 'Tropic of Cancer culture,' is one of the largest and most comprehensive Tropic of Cancer marker parks in the world. The scenic area is planned and designed with novelty and style. From the foot of the mountain to the top, there are sequentially built: the Gate of Return, the Sun Path, Kuafu Chasing the Sun, Stone Circle, Transcendence, Sun and Moon Brilliance, Sundial Timing, Sun Viewing Tower, Main Marker Pavilion, Gemini Square, Planetarium, Stonehenge Square, Hani Fire Taking Platform, West Gate Scenic Steps, Moon Square, and other 15 groups of attractions. The Tropic of Cancer, also known as the Summer Solstice Line, is the northernmost boundary on Earth where the sun's rays can shine directly, approximately at 23°26'N (generally estimated to be 23.5°). The Tropic of Cancer is a latitude line with multidisciplinary significance in astronomical and climatic features. Every year on the summer solstice (when the sun's ecliptic longitude is 90°), the sun's rays almost directly strike the Tropic of Cancer, and at this time, the daytime duration in the Northern Hemisphere reaches its longest for the year. Due to the high angle of the sun directly shining on the Tropic of Cancer, the phenomenon of 'no shadow at noon' occurs on the Tropic of Cancer. It's really worth a visit, and moreover, there are popular spots for social media check-ins, which are very photogenic. 🎈Travel Tips and Recommended Itinerary ✅Tropic of Cancer Marker Park ✅Twin Town ✅Bixi Ancient Town (few people, not heavily commercialized) 🚩Highlights ✅You can take a flying carpet up and down ✅Visit the Planetarium ✅3D movie 20/person (includes astronomy, geography, science popularization, garden art, folk culture, etc.) 🍵Food Recommendations ✅Oil-soaked heart tube, fried sweet rice balls, oyster sauce mango, litsea cubeba boiled fish ✅Rice noodles, rice vermicelli ✅Braised chicken in soy sauce, pickled meat ✅Green grass dumplings, Huashan family 🏠Accommodation Recommendations ✅Wyndham ✅Lanting Garden ✅Tropic of Cancer Hotel 🚙Transport Information ✅High-speed train to Mojiang Station, take a taxi to the city center (about 15Y) 🕑Opening Hours ✅08:30-18:30 📍Scenic Area Address ✅Tropic of Cancer Marker Park, Mojiang Hani Autonomous County, Pu'er City 💰Ticket Information ✅Full price: 40Y/person
