Seaside, mountain peaks, wilderness... Every time they go to places with excellent views, many travelers will "sacrifice" some sleep time and get up early to catch up with the sun's footsteps.

The orange halo paints the most beautiful makeup on the mountains and rivers, and also makes the viewers feel proud. Follow along with this article to see 4 of the most stunning sunrises in the world.

1. Angkor Wat, Cambodia

Speaking of Cambodia's "national treasure", we have to mention the world’s cultural heritage and the splendid tourist card - Angkor Wat.

In addition to its unshakable historical status and artistic achievements, Angkor Wat also hides a beautiful sunrise view.

Many photography enthusiasts come here just to take a silhouette of the temple at sunrise.

The orange light and the towering and solemn buildings create a beautiful blend of nature and humanities. However, the four seasons here are different, and you have to choose a good time to come to Angkor Wat to watch the sunrise.

Every year around the spring equinox, it is the most suitable time to come here to watch the sunrise, when the sun will rise from the middle of the silhouette of the pagoda, presenting a rare "sunrise on the spire".

2. Haleakala Volcano, USA

Haleakala is one of the largest dormant volcanoes in the world, located in Maui, Hawaii, with an altitude of about 3,055 meters. Its majestic figure can be seen everywhere on the island.

Haleakala means "House of the Sun" in Hawaiian. Legend has it that the protector of the island wanted to extend the length of the day to allow people to work and live better.

He used to stand on top of the volcano as the sun went down to trap it, and let it go until the sun god promised to give Maui plenty of sunshine. In reality, the Haleakala volcano is also related to the sun.

Its unique volcanic landform is very similar to the surface of the moon. The sunrise tour of the crater here attracts a large number of tourists.

3. Taj Mahal, India

The Taj Mahal is a world cultural heritage and one of the most well-known monuments in India. There is a lingering love story behind it. This building was built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved concubine Taj Mahal.

The mausoleum was designed by Mahar himself and built with all the efforts of the whole country.

Luxurious and elegant, the Taj Mahal is known as the "Pearl of India", and it is also the prototype of the ancient castle in Disney's animation "Aladdin".

Watching the sunrise here has a feeling beyond reality as if you have also entered the fairy tale world and are taking adventures with the protagonists. The Taj Mahal is built with pure white marble, supplemented by inlays of agate, glass, and other materials.

When the sun rises from the horizon and the sun slowly envelopes this epic building, everything becomes like a dream.

4. Ayers Rock, Australia

Ayers Rock is located in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in the southern inland of Australia's Northern Territory. It is about 3,000 meters long and has a maximum height of 348 meters. It is the largest single rock in the world, and the locals call it "Uluru".

In a desolate desert, this red giant rock is dazzling and unusual, like a "heart" embedded in the surface, full of vigorous vitality.

The sunrise at Ayers Rock is different from other places. Here, the sun wakes up with the giant rock on almost the same horizon, and the sun shines on the rock’s surface and turns into different reds.

Visiting Ayers Rock to enjoy a sunrise is a must-have item on many people's travel lists. May-October every year is the best time to come here to watch the sunrise.
