Guizhou Family Trip: Discover the Chinese 'Sky Eye' and Experience the Power of National Pride

The most important part of our trip to Guizhou was taking the seal to visit the Chinese 'Sky Eye'. Everyone is familiar with the 'Sky Eye'; it is the world's largest and most sensitive radio telescope, capable of receiving electromagnetic signals from billions of light-years away. It can explore neutral hydrogen in the universe, observe pulsars, and detect interstellar molecules. It's a must-visit for children to experience the might of this great national instrument. 📍The 'Sky Eye' is located in Pingtang County, Qiannan Prefecture, Guizhou To build a bowl-shaped astronomical telescope, a natural depression is needed. Mr. Nan Rendong led a team of scientists to screen nearly ten thousand karst depressions and finally found this place👉🏻 Its diameter is larger than that of the 'Sky Eye', it features karst topography with a natural underground river drainage system, suitable temperatures, and is far from cities, making it a truly chosen place. ⭕How to enjoy the 'Sky Eye' Scenic Area? ✅Pingtang International Astronomy Experience Hall With dazzling starry sky models, realistic planet models, and detailed introductions to astronomical knowledge, immerse yourself in the fantasy universe and listen to the sounds of the cosmos. There are also teachers who tell the story of the 'Sky Eye' and dome cinema movies about the solar system... ✅Take the shuttle bus to the observation deck The 'Sky Eye' cannot be disturbed by signals, so all metal equipment and signal transmission devices are prohibited (mobile phones, watches, cameras, knives, lighters...). The scenic area provides free storage lockers, and security checks are very strict. Traditional mechanical film cameras are allowed at the 'Sky Eye', or you can rent a camera for 300, develop film for 30, and take the film with you. Manual photography at the observation deck costs 30 per photo, and only cash is accepted. ✅Overlook the world's largest astronomical telescope Upon reaching the observation deck, the gigantic 'Sky Eye' lies quietly among the green mountains, resembling a huge pot. When shrouded in clouds and mist, it looks like a pot of boiling water. The child was interested throughout the process, and the long trip was well worth it. The universe is vast and filled with mysterious forces. I hope the child will yearn for and respect the unknown world, ignite the flame of exploration, and plant a seed in their young mind.
