Purple Mountain Observatory (Zijinshan Observatory)

The Nanjing Astronomy and History Museum is within the observatory itself. It's the first museum of its kind in China. The museum has three exhibition halls, displaying full and accurate data and pictures. Here you will feel the immensity of the universe and the smallness of human beings.

You can take the ropeway to the observatory. And later you can go on to climb the main peak of Purple Mountain and enjoy its elegant scenery.

Come here and be an astronomer yourself!
