The 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST), with a diameter of 500 meters, is the largest single-port radio telescope in the world and the astronomical science and technology with the most independent intellectual property rights in China. Whether you are a photography enthusiast or a travel enthusiast, it is worth experiencing, accepting the influence of astronomical knowledge, appreciating the pioneering work of astronomical science and technology in China, and leaving your own footprints and noble images in your eyes. Bring your old film camera. You should not only take pictures of astronomical towns with digital cameras or mobile phones, but also take pictures of the spectacular eyes of the sky with film cameras. Whether it's a work or a commemorative photo, since I went, I won't leave any regrets for myself.

First go to the 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST) scenic spot, with convenient transportation, self-driving, free travel, or a one-day tour with a group to see your own situation.

The 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST) is located in Astronomical Town, Pingtang County, Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, about 180 km away from Guiyang, and the whole journey is almost an expressway. There is a through train in Guiyang, and the traffic is very convenient. Self-driving and free travel should be the best way to travel, so that you can control the viewing items and visiting time independently, and you can play for one day and stay for one night at will. It is suggested to arrive at Astronomical Town in the afternoon, stay for one night, and go sightseeing the next morning. There is plenty of time and convenient arrangement. It is also a good choice for friends who don't drive by car and don't have enough time to travel with a group in Guiyang. Depart from Guiyang in the morning and return at night. Which way is appropriate, according to their specific circumstances, appropriate arrangements, suitable for their own should be the best. We drove directly from Huangguoshu Waterfall to Astronomical Town with a speed of 295 kilometers, which is also very convenient.

Second, you can shoot freely in the astronomical town with digital cameras and mobile phones. Before taking the bus ferry, put the electronic products in the lockbox of the customer service center. You can't take them to the Tian Yan site.

Astronomical Town is an intensive center integrating passenger service, astronomical science exhibition and publicity, business including food and accommodation. The town is about 25 kilometers away from Tian Yan Scenic Area, where you can buy tickets, watch popular science exhibitions, screen science films, watch experiences and take a bus ferry. Here you can shoot at will with digital cameras and mobile phones. The architecture of the town is very distinctive, with a popular science exhibition hall, streets and squares, which are worth taking pictures as a souvenir. Before taking the bus ferry, you can enjoy sightseeing and shooting in the town. However, it is not allowed to bring any electronic products into the Tian Yan site, so as not to interfere with Tian Yan's work. Therefore, electronic products include digital cameras, mobile phones, watches, car remote control keys and so on. You must stay in the password box in the storage room before you can go to the Tian Yan scenic spot at the car ferry. You should consciously abide by this rule when you go to the on-site scenic spots, and don't bring any interference and adverse effects to the national eye.

Third, bring your film camera and wide-angle lens, and leave a noble image in the eye of the sky scenery without regret.

Photography enthusiasts and travel enthusiasts should bring their own film cameras when they go to Tian Yan Scenic Area. Because the film camera is mechanical and will not bring electronic interference to Tian Yan, tourists are allowed to take it to Tian Yan to shoot. At the end of Chedu, at the foot of Tian Yan Scenic Area, someone rented a film camera at the price of 150 yuan, and the film was purchased with extra money. Even if you rent a camera, it is not as skilled and convenient as yourself; At the top of the mountain, there is also a scenic spot where passengers are photographed with a film camera. 25 yuan, take a photo. Whether it's renting or letting the on-site booth shoot, the price is not cheap. I believe that many elderly people have used film cameras at home, and many families still have them now. I have two 135 cameras and one 120 camera at home. Unfortunately, I didn't bring it this time, and I didn't take an image of the Eye of the Sky. I spent 25 yuan to let the booth take a panoramic photo of the eye of the sky, saying it was scanned and sent to my mailbox, but I haven't received it yet. How to take it is unknown. Without a film camera, the scenery around the eye of the sky can't be photographed, which is a pity.

The eye of the sky is very big, and it is difficult to shoot a panoramic view without a wide-angle lens in a scenic spot, so don't forget to bring your wide-angle lens when you bring a film camera to meet the shooting needs.

4. According to the content, the sightseeing expenses of Tian Yan Scenic Area are divided into three grades, and the cheapest one is 140 yuan, so you can choose according to your needs.

Sightseeing at scenic spots includes car ferry, astronomical images, dome images and observation experience. According to different contents, it can be divided into three packages: basic tour, boutique tour and exclusive tour. The prices are 140 yuan, 220 yuan and 250 yuan. Visitors can choose to buy packages according to their favorite content. Because of time, we chose the basic package of 140 yuan. In addition to watching astronomical science museums, watching movies and experiencing observation around the customer service center of the town, you also need to take a bus ferry from the town to Tianyan, which costs 50 yuan. The car ferry will arrive at the foot of Tian Yan scenic spot in about half an hour. At this time, there are two choices. One is to walk, climb the plank road of more than 700 steps and climb to the top of the mountain to see the scenic spots; Second, from 20 yuan to sightseeing bus to the top of the mountain and then back to 40 yuan. Because of the time, we chose to go back and forth to sightseeing bus.

Five, accommodation can choose astronomical town, non-peak season accommodation costs are not high.

If you need to stay near the scenic spot for one night, it is recommended to live directly in the astronomical town. Astronomical town is small, but clean and tidy. Friends from Worry-Free go on road trip can park their cars in the parking building at a price of 10 yuan, which is not expensive. Opposite the customer service center are restaurants and hotels. Not many people eat and live in the off-season. We went in the first ten days of September on a non-holiday basis, and the standard room price was 100 yuan. Because we needed four standard rooms, the boss gave us a discount in 80 yuan. The food is not expensive either. A bowl of rice noodles 10 yuan is more reasonable.

The car ferry leaves at 9: 30 am, and the last bus leaves for Tian Yan Scenic Area at 4: 30 pm ... Living in a small town, book the next day's package with the APP on your mobile phone, pick up the ticket early in the morning, and have enough time to visit and experience the contents of the Astronomy Science Museum; Have enough time to visit the town and pat the humanities and characteristic buildings of the town; Have enough time to take your film camera to the scene in Tian Yan and shoot around.

In a word, if you go to Tian Yan Scenic Area, you must have a good visit and experience. Also have a good visit to the astronomical town and the eye of the sky, which is famous at home and abroad. Don't leave any regrets for this trip.
