A rare solar halo was seen in the sky above Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong Province, on Tuesday.
The spectacle appeared at about noon. A round red ball was seen circled by a big purple ring near the sun, creating a romantic scene in the sky.
Local meteorological experts explained the solar halo was a phenomenon of atmospheric optics. It was the first complete solar halo found above Guangzhou in many years.
The wonderful sight, which lasted more than 3 hours, attracted local residents. It disappeared at about 2 pm.
