Guizhou Tianyan Study Tour, No More Distant Viewing (Walk on the Big Dish)

Dear friends, the Guizhou Tianyan study tour is absolutely stunning! 🚀 This time, it’s not just distant viewing—you can actually walk on the big dish and experience the charm of this national treasure up close! No more words, follow my guide quickly! Attraction Address The Tianyan Scenic Area is located in Pingtang County, Guizhou. It’s about a 2-hour drive from Guiyang Airport, super convenient! 🏨 Accommodation Stay at the China Tianyan Beyond Light Years Hotel. Only guests staying at this hotel can enter the core area of Tianyan! So be sure to register your license plate in advance or show the hotel confirmation at the checkpoint. About 2 kilometers from the hotel, there is a special karst cave! Passing through the cave feels like entering a paradise, the beautiful scenery makes you want to stay forever. 🚗 Attraction Transportation It’s recommended to rent a car and drive yourself because the Tianyan viewing area is about 6 kilometers from the hotel, and you need to drive following the staff’s car. 👍 Children’s Study Tour Arrangement 1. After checking in, immediately go to the front desk to book your Tianyan visit time, very convenient. 2. At 7 PM, there is a presentation in the hotel conference room where researchers explain the telescope and Tianyan’s professional knowledge with a PPT, super interesting! At 9 PM, at the observation point, children can use optical telescopes to stargaze under staff guidance and experience the mysteries of the universe. 3. Visit Tianyan: Led by researchers, walk on the Tianyan for a tour. The tour includes explanations while walking around the dish, allowing a close-up experience of this national treasure. The kids are all super excited! 💗 Other Tips 1. When visiting Tianyan, you cannot bring mobile phones, digital cameras, or other electronic devices. You can rent a vintage film camera at the reception center for 300 RMB, which includes film (cash payment). After the visit, staff will take out the film. You can take the film with you to develop yourself or have it developed on-site for 50 RMB (on-site development only provides digital photos, and you are responsible if the film is damaged). 2. This kind of study tour is way better than the typical photo-stop travel groups! Kids not only have fun but also learn a lot, leaving a deep impression and gaining a lot. 3. The China Tianyan Beyond Light Years Hotel is the only hotel located in the core area of Tianyan. If driving, remember to download offline maps in advance because there is no phone signal once you enter the core area! Dear friends, such an amazing Guizhou Tianyan study tour—don’t just be tempted, take action! Quickly make arrangements and explore the mysteries of the universe with your children! 🚀
