Moreover, the Tropic of Cancer Marking Garden in Mojiang is exactly located at 23°26′ north latitude. It is crossed by the Tropic of Cancer. One side is tropical and the other is temperate. Every summer solstice, the sun shines directly on this line, and then the direct line gradually moves south, so here Known as "the place where the sun turns", it is also known as "the hometown of Hani, the city of return, and the home of twins".
The Tropic of Cancer Marking Garden takes the actual position of the Tropic of Cancer as the main axis, and is reasonably arranged according to the natural direction of the mountain as "Gemini Square", "Kuafu Chasing the Sun", "Gate of the Tropic of Cancer", "Beyond", "Sundial Square" ", "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter" and other places that can be visited.
Gemini Square: The Tropic of Cancer of the Mojiang River passes through the city. One side is subtropical and the other is temperate. Different climates and different temperature potentials will cause many subtle changes in some element genes of the human body, as well as diet. city of cells".

Legs bent and offerings in hand, the couple prayed to the gods for the safe birth of their twins.
There are two yin and yang wells in Gemini Square, attracting a large number of curious tourists.

Concentric lock, waiting for the arrival of a good pregnancy.

According to the legend of the Hani people, passing through the spiral tower from east to west on the Tropic of Cancer can make one year younger, successfully crossing the tunnel of time and space.
Sundial: It is a timekeeping instrument used in ancient my country to measure the time by using the shadow of the sun. The sundial is composed of a pointer and a disk, and the surface of the disk is divided into 24 grids representing the twelve hours. When the sun shines on the disc, the shadow of the pointer will be cast on the corresponding hour on the disc to show the local solar time of the day.

Based on this, the twenty-four solar terms can be accurately inferred. I really admire the wisdom of the ancestors.
