On the morning of November 29, a stunning sundog phenomenon appeared in Genhe City, Inner Mongolia. Three "suns" were visible in the sky simultaneously, arranged with the central sun higher and the two on either side lower. The spectacle lasted for nearly five hours.

The *sundog* phenomenon, also known as "mock suns" or "parhelia," is an atmospheric optical effect. It occurs when cirrostratus clouds form at high altitudes during cold weather, causing the ice crystals within the clouds to align in an orderly manner. This alignment refracts sunlight predictably, creating bright spots on either side of the sun, giving the appearance of multiple suns in the sky.
