Miike Port, the miraculous sunset spectacle of the 'Path of Light'

Miike Port, where the sunset is incredibly beautiful, was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site in 2015. This 'miraculous spectacle' can only be seen during two periods each year, in January and November. The 'Path of Light' stretches from the end of the Miike Port route, through the lock gate, and finally reaches the Miike Port Observatory, almost forming a straight line. When the sunset direction is from 0 degrees north latitude to 247 degrees east, the sunset extends straight through the center of the lock gate like a hummingbird's beak, creating a magnificent 'Path of Light'. This phenomenon lasts for about a week. The Miike Port Observatory is not only a popular dating spot for watching beautiful sunsets but also a popular location for photographing the sunset and the surrounding factory clusters.
