Nature delivered a breathtaking spectacle in Xizang's Gyantse County this week as a rare full-circle rainbow crowned the ancient Palcho Monastery! 🌈 The celestial ring appeared after a summer rain shower, framing the 15th-century Buddhist site like a cosmic halo against mountain vistas.
When Science Meets Symbolism
While circular rainbows occur when sunlight reflects inside water droplets below the observer's horizon (usually seen from planes!), this ground-level sighting left locals awestruck. In Tibetan culture, such phenomena symbolize wholeness and prosperity – talk about an Instagrammable blessing!
Travel vloggers are already dubbing it “The Monastery Under the Sky Portal”. Could this be your next bucket-list destination? 🏔️✨
