The origin of sunshine city:

The annual average total sunshine hours in Lhasa is 3005.3 hours, with an average daily sunshine of 8 hours 15 minutes. It is almost half that of the eastern region at the same latitude and twice that of the Sichuan Basin. With so much sunshine, it is not an exaggeration to call it "Sunshine City".

Lhasa is 3658 meters above sea level, with thin atmosphere, sparse air density and low water vapor content. In addition, the air is not as dusty as the northwest, and the atmospheric transparency is very good. Therefore, sunlight shines through the atmosphere to Lhasa, and the amount of absorption and scattering in the atmosphere is particularly small.

The sky in Lhasa is very clear, and the sunshine is particularly bright. Looking at the snow peak in the distance, it is clear and abnormal. Due to the thin atmosphere, the blue light scattered by air molecules is greatly weakened, and the dark blue or blue-black sky sets off the dazzling sun.
