But most people have way fewer encounters of sunrise. I can count four sunrise moments I remember and each memory is vivid with details and colors.</p> <h2 class="relative group">#1 Sunrise at Mount Hengshan (南岳衡山) <div id="1-sunrise-at-mount-hengshan-南岳衡山" class="anchor"></div> <span class="absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 -start-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100 select-none"> <a class="text-primary-300 dark:text-neutral-700 !no-underline" href="#1-sunrise-at-mount-hengshan-%e5%8d%97%e5%b2%b3%e8%a1%a1%e5%b1%b1" aria-label="Anchor">#</a> </span> </h2> <p>When I was a kid, my mom took me to visit the famous mountain 南岳衡山. We stayed near Banshan Pavilion (the area halfway up the peak), and got up around 3am to hike to the top for sunrise. I don&rsquo;t know if that&rsquo;s my first sunrise experience, but it&rsquo;s the earliest one I can remember. I remember we had to wear rented long winter jackets though it&rsquo;s in summer time. We hiked in the half-dark and reached the top around 5am. I remember the Sun looked like an extremely red egg yolk, slowly poking above the mountains, and then suddenly jumped out from the horizon.</p>
