How to develop astronomical tourism

Astronomical theme tourism. It can be divided into four categories: the first category: watching the stars and the moon and watching the sunrise. Since ancient times, the earliest prototype of "astronomical tourism" has been formed by climbing mountains and visiting lakes for the purpose of enjoying the moon and watching the sunrise. The second category: viewing astronomical wonders. In recent years, more and more people go around the world to watch astronomy. Outbound tourists mainly focus on astronomical activities such as aurora, meteor shower and solar eclipse, which is a very popular tourism demand in recent years. The third category: astronomical science tour. For example, the establishment of the China radio telescope FAST in Pingtang County has attracted worldwide attention. With the completion of FAST, an astronomical science town 5 kilometers away was born. The completion of the town can not only popularize astronomical knowledge, but also promote the development of local tourism. The fourth category: Visit astronomical science sites to find the development footprint of celestial science, such as Purple Mountain Observatory and Nanyang Zhang Heng's Tomb.
