Imagine looking up to see not one, but two vibrant rainbows painting the sky! 🌈🌈 That's exactly what happened in Qionghai, a coastal city in south China's Hainan Province, after an evening thunderstorm last night.
As the storm clouds parted, residents were treated to a breathtaking spectacle. The eastern sky showcased a striking double rainbow—one bright and vivid, the other a softer, fainter arc. Meanwhile, the western horizon glowed with the golden hues of a sunset, creating a surreal and enchanting panorama.
"This was like something out of a fantasy movie!" exclaimed Li Wei, a local university student who captured the moment on her phone. 📸 "I’ve never seen anything so beautiful."
Social media platforms buzzed with photos and videos as people shared their awe-inspiring views of the sky. The rare combination of atmospheric conditions needed for a double rainbow made this a truly special event.
For those unfamiliar, a double rainbow occurs when light is reflected twice inside raindrops, forming two distinct arcs with the colors of the second rainbow reversed. It's a phenomenon that has fascinated humans for generations.
If you ever find yourself in Hainan, known for its tropical climate and stunning beaches, keep an eye on the sky—you never know when nature might surprise you! ✨
