Global sunset rankings, the last one you'd never expect

Recently, sunsets in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, have become popular, with many people rushing to Malaysia as "weekend warriors" just for that intense romantic moment, which can heal a tiring life. Actually, the claim that "Kota Kinabalu has a Top 3 sunset globally" doesn't have any authoritative official ranking to support it. In the famous sunset rankings selected by the travel media Bounce, Kota Kinabalu isn't even on the list. So which incredible sunsets are on the list? Let's take a look~ 🌅 Uluru, Australia Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is a massive sandstone formation in central Australia. This rock holds sacred significance for Indigenous Australians and, according to research, began forming around 550 million years ago. At sunset, the afterglow of the setting sun casts upon Uluru, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene. 🌅 Maldives The Maldives is an archipelago nation of 192 islands, known as "paradise." It boasts white sandy beaches, dreamy overwater bungalows, and crystal-clear turquoise waters. At sunset in the Maldives, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkles on the sea, shimmering, and the whole world is bathed in a pinkish-purple hue. 🌅 Haleakalā, Hawaii Haleakalā, also known as the East Maui Volcano. Due to its high altitude, Haleakalā has very low light pollution around it, providing ideal conditions for sunset viewing. Standing on the summit, watching the sun slowly set, the feeling is beyond words. 🌅 Santorini, Greece Santorini's seascape is one of the most recognizable in the world. It features colorful cliffs, azure waters, and whitewashed buildings. 🌅 Angkor Wat, Cambodia Located in Siem Reap Province in northern Cambodia, Angkor Wat is the largest religious complex in the world. The sunset at Angkor Wat is different from the natural landscapes mentioned earlier; it perfectly blends ancient architecture with sculptural art. The afterglow of the setting sun casts upon the temple's stone carvings and spires, the golden light contrasting with the ancient buildings, draping a veil of mystery over the thousand-year-old ruins. 🌄 Don't miss the sunset and the afterglow.
