Shenzheners were treated to a phenomenal sky last night after their first day back to work following a weeklong Chinese New Year holiday. The blood-red clouds that loomed over the city seemed to confirm the urban legend that smog enhances the beauty of a sunset – or at least produces unnatural hues due to man-made aerosols and particles suspended in the sky.

In case you missed the fiery views last night, we’ve rounded up the best shots from Instagram that capture this epic sunset at its peak.
