Vietnam’s salt fields named in top 15 most breathtaking sunsets on earth

The Hanoitimes – The UK’s Daily Mail has revealed the top 15 most breathtaking sunsets on earth, of which Vietnam’s salt fields was named the 13th.

According to the paper, it happens every single day, but somehow a sunset never loses its allure. Sunsets vary according to season and the viewer’s position on the globe. By the time we see one, the sun has already gone. The short-lived light we see is instead an effect of refraction.

Vietnam’s salt fields was named in top 15 most breathtaking sunsets on earth by the UK’s Daily Mail.

But it’s the Earth’s atmosphere that determines a sunset’s array of rainbow colours. Molecules and small particles in the air alter the direction of light rays, causing them to ‘scatter’ and produce the fandango of hues.
The Daily Mail said Vietnam has many attractions, its salt fields being one. During the day, the fields are busy with workers who together amass an annual salt production of around 700,000 tonnes, but as the sun goes down and the workers leave, the fields are a shrine to tranquility.
Other most stunning sunsets ranked in the list included India’s Taj Mahal, Cambodia’s Angkor Wat temple complex, the Arctic Circle in Norway, the Kirkjufell Mountain at Snæfellsnes Peninsula west of Iceland, the Great Pyramid site of Giza in Cairo in Egypt, Zanzibar archipelago off the coast of Tanzania, and desert safari in Dubai.

As the sun sinks behind India’s Taj Mahal, it wraps itself around the dome and stuccoed marble walls, turning them from white to purple, and bathes the neighbouring lake in ethereal hues of orange

Other places with fantastic golden sunsets are Chile’s Atacama desert, Cape Town’s Table Mountain, California’s Santa Monica beach, Kenya, the Isle of Skye in Scotland, the Ayers Rock in Australia and the towering Château Frontenac in Canada’s Québec City.

In Norway, between late May and mid-July, the sun never fully goes down due to its position north of the Arctic Circle. The resulting colours form a phenomenon known as the ‘midnight sun’ Cape Town is renowned as churning out some of the best sunsets in the world, and for good reason. From an elevated position, the sun throws its long cast over the sea in glimmering patterns as Table Mountain soaks in the warmer red hues from afar
