The Tropic of Cancer passes through Mojiang, Yunnan, where the sun turns around.

New Year's Day has just passed, and the Spring Festival is coming soon. However, the 20 days before and after the festival are still a good time to travel off-peak! A trip without crowds is a happy trip! Beijing is cold in winter, so I chose to go to Yunnan to spend the winter. Today, I came to the Mojiang Tropic of Cancer Park, which is a park that integrates astronomy, geography, botany, science popularization, garden art, and tourism culture. There are few people and beautiful scenery. Let's witness the magic of the Tropic of Cancer together. 🌈 Highlights: ✅ The magical Tropic of Cancer is located at 23°26' north latitude, the golden section of the earth's axis, and is the northernmost point where the sun shines directly on the earth. Therefore, Mojiang is called the place where the sun turns around. ✅ The vegetation on both sides of the Tropic of Cancer is different. The left side is tropical palm plants, and the right side is mainly temperate broad-leaved plants. If you look down from the sky, you will be surprised to find that it looks like a huge eye, so it is also called the Eye of Mojiang. ✅ In the park, there are small buildings and sculptures such as the "Road of the Sun", "Kua Fu Chasing the Sun", "Gate of the Tropic of Cancer", "Sundial Square", and "Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter", which show the geographical location and changes of the Tropic of Cancer. In addition, there is an introduction to the countries that cross the Tropic of Cancer, which is very informative! ✅ Mojiang is also a county of twins, with more than 1,200 pairs of twins. When you visit the park, you will see many pairs of twins and meet them by chance. Isn't it amazing? 🎫 Ticket: CNY 30 🚗 Transportation: Drive to the park with navigation 🧭
