Rare sunset spectacle draws visitors to Zhaoqing's Xinghu Lake

A scenic spot hailed as the "Reclining Buddha Holding the Sun" has recently become a popular attraction in Zhaoqing, Guangdong province.

The rare astronomical spectacle appears when the sun sets just behind a far-off mountain silhouette that resembles Buddha. In that instant, countless golden streams spill out from the "Buddha's mouth", and flecks of gold shimmer and dance upon the city's Xinghu Lake.
