Mojiang Hani Autonomous County is located in Pu'er City, Yunnan Province. There is a "Mojiang Tropic of Cancer Sign Park", which is currently one of the largest and most functional Tropic of Cancer sign parks in the world, attracting many domestic and foreign tourists.

The planning and design of the Tropic of Cancer Marking Garden scenic area is grand, novel and unique, and has a unique style. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are: Gate of Return, Road to the Sun, Kuafu Chasing the Sun, Stone Ring, Beyond, Sun and Moon, Sundial Timekeeping, There are 15 groups of scenic spots such as the Peeping Sun Tower, the Main Hall, and the Twin Stars Square. It integrates astronomy, geography, garden art, national culture, and viewing tourism.

The Tropic of Cancer is the astronomical dividing line between the tropics and the north temperate zone, and the area along the line is subtropical. The Tropic of Cancer traverses the four provinces of Taiwan, Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan with a total length of more than 2,000 kilometers. The Tropic of Cancer just passes through the county in Mojiang, so Mojiang is also called "City of Return".

The Tropic of Cancer is a circle of latitude north of the equator, and it is also the limit where the sun shines vertically on the northern hemisphere. At noon on the summer solstice, the sun shines directly on it, and the vertical pole is invisible.

Every year on the summer solstice, if you stand on the Tropic of Cancer on the Mojiang River, the sun will shine directly on the Tropic of Cancer at 13:15 noon, creating an astronomical spectacle of "no shadow on the pole". In just three and a half minutes, the sun directly hit the Tropic of Cancer and then turned and left in the direction of the Tropic of Cancer, creating the legend of "the sun turning around" on the Tropic of Cancer, which is a miraculous witness.

Mojiang belongs to the Hani Autonomous County, and there is a Hani fire-making platform in the Tropic of Cancer Marking Garden. To express the Hani people's worship of fire, the annual "Hani making fire" ceremony is held here on the summer solstice on June 21 every year.

However, in the Tropic of Cancer Sign Garden, there is also a "twin" well, which attracts people from all over the country to come to explore the secrets, make wishes and pray for blessings.

It turns out that this twin well is said to be able to give birth to twins if you drink it, isn't it amazing?

Many people come here to drink twin well water and leave their good wishes, that is, they hope to have twins. Since 2005, Mojiang County has launched the annual "China Mojiang Tropic of Cancer International Twins Festival and Hani Sun Festival". Attracting twins from all over the country and even the world to participate, Mojiang is also known as "the hometown of Hani, the city of return, and the home of twins".

In fact, twins are a special physiological phenomenon, with an incidence rate of about one in a thousand. However, there are 1,200 pairs of twins among the population of 360,000 in Mojiang County, which is far beyond the normal ratio, especially in Hexi Village in the county. , the proportion of twins is even more than four percent.

In fact, there are still some rumors about the mystery of the twins in Mojiang, such as eating purple rice. For rooms across the Tropic of Cancer, the head of the bed should be in the temperate zone and the end of the bed should be in the tropics.

In short, having twins is not something that can be achieved simply by coming to Mojiang, it still requires a lot of homework. But travel in Mojiang is full of novelty and yearning for many people. In addition to the Tropic of Cancer, there is also an original ecological natural environment, and there are local high-quality ecological native products, such as Mojiang purple rice, purple rice sealed cylinder wine, Mojiang coffee, bamboo shoots, lotus root, etc. It is a good place for tourism and leisure.
