关于
快速信息: A monument marks the precise equatorial line where you can stand with one foot in each hemisphere. The yellow stone monument towers 30 meters high and draws over 1 million visitors each year who come to straddle the planet.
亮点: The monument's shadow disappears entirely on the equinoxes, when the sun aligns perfectly overhead at noon. You can watch water drain straight down a sink on the equator, no swirling direction at all, a simple trick that still baffles first-time visitors.
内部小贴士
- Wear closed-toe shoes, the stone ground gets scorching hot by late morning.
- Bring a GPS device to see the latitude read 00°00'00" for a fun verification shot.
- Skip the overpriced souvenir shops inside and buy magnets from street vendors outside the gate.
- The egg-balancing trick really works on the marked line, ask a staff member to show you how.
