The Mauna Kea Observatory in Hawaii, which took pictures of Puheo black holes, is 4,206 meters above sea level, not only the highest point in the entire Pacific Ocean, but also the best stargazing base in the northern hemisphere. It is the ultimate dream of many Hoshino photographers, crossing the sea of clouds, climbing to the top of the mountain, looking up at the stars, This is the most memorable experience on the Big Island of Hawaii. TIPS: There are many local tourism companies in Hawaii that operate the sunset and stargazing project of Maona Kaiya Observatory (it is recommended to register on the official website in advance). Take the bus to the top of the mountain at about 4 pm. It takes 1 and a half hours to drive. The temperature on the top of the mountain is about 2 degrees. The travel company has warm cotton clothes and hot chocolate. You need to bring your own trousers and warm shoes and socks. To shoot the starry sky, you need to prepare a large aperture camera (F2.8) and a tripod.

    The Monaroya Observatory is a place with a very few people. The road up is a bit steep, but the scenery is really good. According to our local guide, it will be more beautiful at night.

    The most beautiful starry sky I have ever seen is a hot spring in Conch Trench. It describes the star as a diamond hanging on black velvet. What MAUNA KEA SUMMIT sees is the real starry sky full of stars. It feels that the night sky can't wear them. At night in Shanghai, only when the weather conditions are excellent can there be so many stars shining in the sky at night. Actually, the stars are always there, but they can't be seen in the night sky of Shanghai. The city's lights are too bright, leaving behind the beautiful stars.

    Turn in from the main road, drive 45 minutes on the mountain road to this Mauna Loa Lookout (not the Observatory, that is another road). The more the road is going up, the worse the situation, the first is still a flat but narrow two-way lane, to the back is pitted (if it is not an off-road vehicle is quite injured) and only one car is so wide, meet the opposite direction of the car needs to pull over and let go or it will hit. After opening up, I found that the view was very general, and I could barely see the smoke in the Kilauea crater in the distance. To be honest, what is special about this place is that you can see a large area of silver sword grass along a small walk along the marked path. Silver Sword Grass is one of the most tenacious plants on the planet, mainly growing near the high-altitude crater in Hawaii, which is dry and hot. In general, I personally feel that this attraction is a little pitted. If time is limited, it is better to visit the volcano national park next to it.

    Because you like natural scenery, the Mauna Roa Observatory is a must. It's really superb and spectacular. I dare to be able to compete with the Grand Canyon in the United States. It will be more convenient to apply for a tour unconditionally.
