The Glorious Dusk Huanghe River after Rain

There is a Chinese saying: “the setting sun had boundless beauty, just because the yellow dusk is so near.” Generally, the sunset is fleeting, but during the short moment, the every minute scenary on the Huanghe River may present you great differences.

Sunset is divided several procedures. It begins from turning yellow, then into the reddening long egg-shaped, last the sun disappears from the horizontal line, until the dark blue sky becomes from red to purple sub. What’s more, the sun light happens a big change during the whole process and the scenary is also changing variously according to the light.

People usually have a wrong impression that the sunset goes through a long time, actually the time is really soon. A moment's inattention, the sun has disappeared in the mountains or a horizontal line. One word, accompanied by the Yellow River water, the entire screen of sunset is warm and rich in color. If you live in Jinan city, you can drive to appreciate the sunset by yourself along the North of Lishan Road.
