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.
Nice city ㅜ. ㅜ Want to come back!
The scenery is pleasant and a place worth visiting.
Listening to the introduction of the New York King, yesterday, I rushed to the Empire State Building to seize the opportunity to seize the last opportunity of this year to see Manhattan hanging day. When leading a group of unidentified truth people to stand for half an hour, finally guarded until sunset, before starting to get excited, a dark cloud floated to cover the sun...#ideal is full, reality is always the backbone# (since Manhattan streets are mostly board-style layouts, around 5/28 and 7/12 every year, Sunlight will shine Manhattan's east and west toward the street, presenting a spectacular view)
