"The Southern Cross in late spring, the Milky Way in midsummer, the royal theater in cool autumn, and the Orion patrol in midwinter are unforgettable~" This is the famous astronomy lecturer Hong Jingchuan's impression of Yuanfeng! Since the Leonid meteor storm erupted with 20,000 meteors in one night in November 2001, Kite Peak has become an astronomical holy place for stargazers and star photographers. In 2019, it was certified as the third dark sky park in Asia. . You can now call the museum's dedicated hotline 0972-326-330 to book an in-depth starry sky tour. Cooperating with the observatory's operations will bring you closer to the stars. Famous astronomy lecturer Zhuang Mingjuan said: "It feels like you are instantly among the stars, stimulating curiosity and desire to explore the universe." Astronomy expert Lu Qirun mentioned: "In Yuanfeng Dark Sky Park, even if you only look up with the naked eye, you can deeply feel it. To the vastness and mystery of the universe.”
I believe that through a series of event planning, people will have a deeper understanding of the importance of protecting the natural dark night environment of Hehuan Mountain, as well as the image of the first choice tourist destination for starry sky tourism.
Warm reminder: Hehuan Mountain is as high as 3,000 meters above sea level, and the air pressure is only 70% of sea level, which may cause altitude sickness. For your health and comfort, you can call the Hehuanshan Ankong Park Yuanfeng Visitor Center for advice first.
