Huajianshan 1

Huajian Mountain is affectionately called Huajian Mountain (also known as Huajian Yunfeng) by local people because the top of the mountain protrudes upward. It is located in Heigou Village, Lengqi Town, Luding County, Ganzi Prefecture, southeast of Gongga Snow Mountain, adjacent to Erlang Mountain, with Niubei Mountain and four people in the same mountain. It sits east to west, at an altitude of 3450 meters, with sunrise, sea of clouds, mountains and starry sky.

2. Niubeishan

Known as "the largest observation deck of 360 Snow Mountain in China", Niu Bei attracts many photographers with its diverse natural scenery. The sea of clouds, sunset, sunrise, snow-capped mountains, Buddha's light and star trails are collectively called "the six wonders of Niu Bei".

3. Longquan Mountain Danjingtai

Danjingtai Scenic Area is nearly 1000 meters above sea level, which effectively blocks the strong urban light pollution and makes the night sky here cleaner and quieter. Simply put, when you see one or two stars in the main city, it is already full of stars, which is the best place to watch the starry sky.

Precautions for watching meteor shower:

1, find the radiant point of the meteor shower, and don't look at the sky aimlessly. For example, the meteor shower of quadrant constellation a few days ago, the radiation point rose in the eastern sky near 1, so look in the direction of the eastern sky:

2. If you want to find a place with less light pollution and good air quality to watch the meteor shower, the light source is a big obstacle, so you must see at least 100 stars in the place you find, so the effect will be better:

3, dark adaptation, from the bright place to the dark place, it takes about 2 or 3 minutes for the eyes to adapt to the darkness.

4. When watching the meteor shower, you need to use tools such as star maps and flashlights to find accurate radiation points. Remember to cover the star map with a red cloth when you look at it with a flashlight, so that it won't be too dazzling and affect the viewing.

5. Remember to watch the meteor shower with naked eyes. It is not suitable to use a telescope, because the field of vision of the telescope is too small, and the field of vision seen by the naked eye is relatively large, and the chances are relatively high.
