The Manhattan Hanging Sun appears twice a year and is a natural phenomenon that occurs every year in Manhattan, New York. The appearance of the hanging sun stems from the checkerboard layout of Manhattan streets. Every year on May 28 and July 12 (or 13), the afterglow of the setting sun fills all of Manhattan's east-west streets, presenting a spectacular 15-minute spectacle. If you are in Manhattan by then, you will be surprised to find that the long shadow behind you is exactly parallel to the double yellow line in the center of the street, which means that the sun is directly facing the east-west street in Manhattan. Many pedestrians stopped, and drivers got out of the car one after another. They picked up their cameras or mobile phones to record this round of the sun and its magnificence.

We sat on the cruise from evening to evening to enjoy the beauty of this Manhattan sunset. It was very beautiful, and it was impressive to see the sun sinking slowly into the horizontal line, and the sunset shining golden on the sea and boats
A super beautiful attraction, you can slowly see the sun in the west, a very spectacular scene, many Manhattan buildings in the diagonal sun appear particularly beautiful, this is a view that attracts many people to watch
When you think of skyline, it's the first place to think of skyline. I think the skyline is changing with new buildings.
景色宜人,是一个值得一去的地方。
听了纽约君介绍,昨天眼巴巴赶到帝国大厦抢占有利位置抓住今年最后的机会看曼哈顿悬日。当带领一群不明真相群众站等半小时,终于守到日落时分,还没开始激动,就飘来一片乌云把太阳遮住了…#理想是丰满的,现实总是骨干#(由于曼哈顿街道大多呈棋盘式布局,在每年的5/28和7/12左右,落时阳光将洒满曼哈顿的东西向街道,呈现一幅壮观的景象)
两年前在照片上看到曼哈顿悬日就决定有一天必须要来这里看一下。这次来曼哈顿的主要目的也是为了它~~我们在大约下午7点十分左右终于看到了这一绝世景色~~太美了。一定要带单反来拍照,手机什么都拍不出。
落日的余晖照耀着曼哈顿全城,显得意境非常的唯美。
