Pingtang is interesting not only because of the FAST telescope

Pingtang is famous for the Chinese FAST telescope🔭 This trip to Pingtang was specially for the national treasure, the Chinese FAST telescope👉🏻 During the planning process, I found that Pingtang is really fascinating✨ Here, you can not only see this national treasure that reaches the sky but also explore underground👍🏻 First stop📍Pingtang Tiandong Cave Guizhou is known as the "Chinese Karst Province" and the "Karst Museum." Pingtang Tiandong Cave is a typical karst cave, developed for tourism and open to the public🕳 Under the guidance of professional instructors, you can experience an exciting and thrilling cave exploration⛰️ For details, see the previous article⬆️ Second stop📍China FAST Telescope Scenic Area The "Chinese FAST" is the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), the world's largest and most sensitive single-dish radio telescope🔭 Visiting the "Chinese FAST" is free of charge🆓 but taking the shuttle bus requires a fee‼️ The distance from the shuttle bus station to the FAST viewing platform is about 20 kilometers, with a travel time of around half an hour. Before boarding, all electronic devices must be stored, including phones, watches, power banks, chargers, digital cameras, car keys, etc. At the viewing platform, you can rent a film camera🎞📷 for 300 yuan per unit or take a commemorative photo for 30 yuan each‼️ Unfortunately, we missed the chance to get close to the FAST telescope. Later, we saw tickets for sale on Trip.com🎫 for over 600 yuan per person. Of course, besides seeing the "big dish," there are many interesting activities in the China FAST Scenic Area, such as visiting the astronomy experience hall, the Nan Rendong Memorial Hall, watching dome movies, and after sunset, enjoying professional stargazing activities✨ The summer nights in Pingtang are very cool, and having barbecue outdoors is very pleasant… When you come to Pingtang, be sure to try the local specialty prickly pear juice and passion fruit juice🍹🍸 Third stop📍Sky Bridge When it comes to world bridges, look to China; when it comes to Chinese bridges, look to Guizhou👀 As the only Chinese province without plains, Guizhou has built over 30,000 bridges on the karst plateau🌁 Through bridge construction, Guizhou has achieved the goal of "highways connecting every county"✨ Guizhou is no longer isolated, its people have left the mountains⛰️ and it has given us the chance to enter the mountains💚 The Pingtang Grand Bridge is the world's tallest reinforced concrete bridge tower and is praised as the "Sky Bridge"☁ When driving across the Pingtang Grand Bridge, you hardly feel that you are 300 meters above the ground, but from the viewing platform at the "Sky Bridge" highway service area, the view is truly breathtaking‼️ I have to praise the "Sky Bridge" highway service area, which not only has restaurants and hotels but also a bridge museum, an outdoor children's playground, and an RV camping site🏕 Pingtang is fascinating✨ definitely worth a visit‼️
