Tour duration: approximately 2-2.5 hours
Departing from the resort, take a bus to the best stargazing location within Ulurukata Chita National Park. The stargazer will use a laser pointer to point out various constellations, planets, and stars, sharing the local indigenous people’s stories about the creation of the starry sky and how they use it to find directions, indicate seasons, and convey correct values. The tour guide will help you take a photo with the dazzling Milky Way (1 electronic version of the original photo). You can share this rare photo with your friends on WeChat Moments. Afterwards, we will continue to explore celestial bodies deep in the universe, such as star clusters, nebulae, and lunar craters, using high-powered astronomical telescopes. This group is suitable for tourists of all ages and is also a valuable astronomy enlightenment class for children. No professional camera equipment or astronomy foundation is required.
