The karst landform in Guizhou has created many beautiful natural scenery. This time, I came to Qiannan Prefecture by car and found that besides the landscape, there is also a very popular eye spot, which is a man-made scientific and technological site and a tourist attraction open to tourists. Speaking of the eye of the sky, the first thing that comes to mind is that there is an eye of the sky system in the Hollywood blockbuster "Speed ? ? and furious 7", which is called awesome! But this movie is fiction. However, this "Eye of the Sky" in the mountainous area of Guizhou is real, and it is a physical object created by relying on natural karst landforms.

Tian Yan Scenic Area is located in Pingtang County, Qiannan Prefecture. It is about180km away from Guiyang, the provincial capital. There is a highway along the way, so it is relatively easy to drive. Speaking of now, what is the eye of the sky? It is actually the largest single-aperture radio telescope in the world, with a diameter of 500 meters and a receiving area of 30 standard football fields, referred to as FAST, which was just put into operation at the beginning of this year. Intuitively, it is like a "big pot cover" embedded in the mountains. When I came to Tian Yan Scenic Area, I found that it was a super place for astronomy enthusiasts and parent-child research. You need to make an appointment in advance to visit Tian Yan Scenic Area, but there are still places to make an appointment after you arrive at the scenic area in the off-season.

The basic ticket price of Tian Yan Scenic Spot is 140 yuan/person, and there are advanced tickets for in-depth experience, ranging from 200 yuan to 300 yuan. There is an astronomical town around, where you can eat and live. The off-season house price is about 100 yuan/night. I bought the basic ticket for 140 yuan, including the 500-meter spherical radio telescope (FAST), ferry fare, astronomy experience hall and astronomical cinema. In fact, the trip to the Eye of the Sky is free, but you can't go directly without buying a ticket because you have to take a bus ferry. The car ferry costs money and sells tickets to the planetarium. Reminds me of the famous essay "Not Bad Money": Scottish noodles with gravy, noodles for money, halogen seeds for money! "Then let's have a bowl of brine ..."

After buying the ticket, I made up a lot of astronomical knowledge I owed when I was a child, and I felt awe and exploration of the sky in the Astronomical Experience Hall. The movie shown in Tianxiang Cinema is about 15 minutes, and the content is to introduce the nine planets of the solar system in turn (this is not a spoiler, right? You can say that). Then take a bus ferry to see the Eye of the Sky!

I really envy today's children. It is much more attractive to have such a perfect venue and visual senses to learn than to read the words and black and white pictures in a book when I was a child.

The next step is to really look at the lid of the "big pot cover", but sorry, there is no real picture. Here's the situation. In order to avoid interference, it will affect the operation of the eye. Everyone should store all electronic items, including cameras, mobile phones and even car keys with batteries, before getting on the bus. If you carry it privately, you will be severely punished.

Therefore, for most tourists, you can't take pictures with your eyes. I made a strategy in advance and bought a pure mechanical film camera in a treasure to take pictures. Of course, you can also rent this pure mechanical film camera in Tianyan, 100 yuan, and a roll of film is in 50 yuan. Ordinary tourists suggest that the viewing platform pay for taking pictures. 25 yuan/Zhang Can took a panoramic view with a wide-angle lens of a film camera. Photos can be printed or sent in kind or electronically. Printing is not advisable, and mailing requires extra postage. As of the time of writing this article, the film I shot has not come and has not been developed, so I will show it to you with the miniature of the Eye of the Sky in the exhibition hall. Seeing the entity with your own eyes is very shocking. In fact, there are many real photos of Tian Yan on the Internet, because before it is put into operation, you can even take aerial photos here.

By the way, Tian Yan Scenic Area closed earlier. The last bus from the exhibition hall to Tian Yan is 16:30 and the last bus is 16:00. After reading it, I will take the bus and connect seamlessly. The heavy weapon of the country, pride! Driving can directly navigate "Eye of the Sky" or "Fast". There were few people and cars along the way, and the scenery was good.
