Thousands amazed to see 'Facebook Thumbs Up' in the sky

A cloud which looked like a giant Facebook thumbs up button has left tourists at a Chinese city stunned when they spotted it in the sky.

‘It was as if the cloud was telling me to click “like”. I was so excited,’ said a student who photographed the rare moment yesterday evening in the city of Shaoguan.

According to the student, she saw the cloud at about 6:40pm and hoped that the cloud could bring her good luck ahead of her university entrance examination.

‘I had been feeling very low, and after I saw the cloud I became much happier,’ the student told Chinese video news platform Pear.


“I wish all Grade 12th students could go to their desired universities,’ she wrote in a post yesterday.
