Haotian Temple stands out for its unique geographical location - it is actually a temple built on a volcano. When I first heard its name, a special interest surged in my heart, and a strong idea arose: I want to take a picture of the hanging sun at Haotian Temple.

In order to achieve this goal, I carefully planned for a full three months. In this long preparation process, I used professional software to simulate the camera position, repeatedly scrutinizing every detail, striving to find the most perfect shooting angle. However, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. At the time of planning, it was the Qingming Festival, and the weather was not beautiful. Frequent rainfall made my exploration journey full of twists and turns. Moreover, due to strict fire prevention requirements, the management office strictly prohibits anyone from entering the forest area where the aircraft is located. After all, in the traditional custom of paying homage to ancestors, burning paper can easily cause fires. Various unfavorable factors have forced me to repeatedly delay my exploration of the aircraft, which has lasted for over a month.

The pointer of time finally points to the end of May, and I finally have the time and opportunity to continue my unfinished exploration and filming. The initial attempt was not smooth. I was too close to Haotian Temple, which resulted in the captured sun appearing too small to present the stunning and magnificent effect in my mind. So, I made a second attempt, and this time I moved to Dongping Mountain. I thought the distance was just right this time, but new problems came one after another. The location is too high in altitude, and a distant ridge appears above the top of Haotian Temple in the picture, completely destroying the harmony and beauty of the picture.

Helpless, I could only carry heavy materials and hike for over a kilometer to halfway down the mountain. After a difficult journey, I finally reached the height that I thought was suitable. However, fate seemed to have played a joke on me again. When I set up my equipment and prepared to shoot, I found that the position had deviated a lot. In order to capture that long-awaited moment, I had to keep moving and striving to find the ideal aircraft position on this steep slope.

This mountain slope is not as flat as imagined, but rather crisscrossed with ravines. Some of the ravines are extremely deep, reaching a depth of over ten meters, as if the earth had opened a huge wound. But I did not shrink back from it. I came to this mountain slope time and time again, persistently searching under the scorching sun, in the wind and rain, in countless times of disappointment and hope intertwined.

Finally, after experiencing countless setbacks and difficulties, I successfully captured this hanging sun of Haotian Temple. At that moment, all exhaustion, all sweat, and all setbacks turned into unparalleled joy and satisfaction
