Five hundred meter Aperture Spherical Telescope

This big space dish, which cost 180 million dollars to create, looks like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. Visitors can see the giant telescope for free, although it does cost 50 yuan to take the bus to the site. There’s also a fun astronomical museum nearby. It’s worth reaching this giant attraction early as they only allow 2,000 people per day to avoid interfering with the research going on there. Whether you’re interested in science, the sheer size, or want to take some out-of-this-world pictures, then a trip to Tianyan (the eye of heaven) is like looking into the future.
