Alishan's(阿里山) sunrise is a very famous landscape in Taiwan. In the early morning of March 19, the sun rose over Yushan(玉山), Taiwan's tallest mountain, amidst a fast-moving mist. Surprisingly, the solar corona with the sun rising turned out to be a very bright red-yellow halo! This is because the position of the sun was still very low at that time, and almost all the blue-green light was scattered, so the diffraction of sunlight by water droplets left only yellow-red. I have never seen such a bright yellow-red solar corona, and there is a faint sun dog on the right side of the sun. This special color solar corona is really amazing!
