Starry Sky Exploration Functional Area

In the Starry Sky Exploration Functional Area, there is an astronomical observatory, which is the core part of the star-picking town. It houses an astronomical telescope for all-sky observation. The all-sky astronomical dome adopts an intelligent control system. It is said that the entire dome can be opened or closed within three minutes. After the dome is opened, the astronomical telescope can observe horizontally at any azimuth angle. The National Astronomical Observatory has upgraded the control software. and research and development, which can achieve precise pointing and tracking of planets, stars, and satellites, as well as monitoring of telescope position, status and other information. There is also a huge dome theater that allows you to experience professional dome movies provided by the National Astronomical Observatory and appreciate the mysteries of space.

The activity and leisure functional area mainly constructs a youth amusement and leisure center and other basic supporting service facilities such as leisure, entertainment, and catering.

The tourist experience area mainly builds spherical, hexagonal and other star-chasing cabins with different appearances and materials, equipped with professional astronomical telescopes, creating a base for sleeping in the desert, looking up at the stars, and dreaming about star-chasing experience.
