During the summer months, the evening skies across Guangdong Province frequently display a broad gradient of hues. As the sun sets, the horizon transitions from warm orange and yellow to cooler shades of pink and purple.
This colour shift is a common atmospheric phenomenon in the region, caused by sunlight scattering off airborne particles and high humidity. The effect is most pronounced during the hot, humid season, when moisture levels in the lower atmosphere are high.
Residents and visitors alike often pause to watch this transition, which typically lasts 30 to 40 minutes after sunset.
