| No.1:Beijing Planetarium (北京天文馆) |
Beijing Planetarium, situated at the Xizhimenwai Avenue of Xicheng District, is a national-level natural science museum. Built in 1957, the museum is the first planetarium in China and was the only one in Asia at that time. There are two astronomical observatories in the courtyard, one of which is equipped with a huge telescope measuring 13 centimeters in diameter. Visitors can observe the moon, planets, nebulae and star clusters. On Mid-Autumn Day evening, to watch the full moon through a telescope is surely a special and unforgettable way to enjoy the festival.
