The Shanghai Astronomical Museum is located on the top of Sheshan Mountain⛰️. It was formerly the Sheshan Observatory🔭 established by French Catholic missionaries in 1900. It has a history of over a hundred years. It was the first observatory in China with an astronomical dome and a large astronomical telescope, and was later converted into the current astronomical museum. The museum is not large and has two floors. The main thing you come here to see is the super-large telescope🔭, and then go out to visit some old astronomical instruments, such as the simple instrument, high-precision sundial, sundial, etc., which are worth a look.

We missed the B1 hall due to short time. 🌌 Inside the Earth sphere there is a projection of constellations, you need to wait in queue. Projection lasts around 12 minutes, don’t worth it if you have little time left. #shanghai #museumquest #space #planetearth #planet #science #sun #historicculture#culturalattractions#themeparks

The Shanghai Astronomy Museum is the largest in Asia. It teaches about stars, spacecraft, stargazing, the origin of minerals and rocks, the planetary system, the solar system, and has a cinema with interpreters for those who are interested in watching. It's very good. If you have children, I recommend taking them. It's worth the time. It takes about three to four hours. There are restaurants and food. Children love it very much. Children under 130 centimeters are free. In case Thai people want to visit, but it takes about an hour to travel, it's quite far. You should go early in the morning. 🏖️ Environment / facilities: 📍 Address: Shanghai Astronomy Museum 📍 Address:

Sheshan is the highest mountain in Shanghai, although it is less than a hundred meters tall, but the spring scenery is worth seeing! Especially the Shanghai Astronomy Museum! It is both educational and entertaining, just as Kangde said, 'Above me, the splendid starry sky; the moral laws and decrees, in my heart.' The exploration of the splendid starry sky has never stopped! If the telescope that traveled all the way from France a hundred years ago was our support for exploring the stars, then a hundred years later, this museum's ability to stimulate children's interest will be the inexhaustible driving force for this exploration to continue! Perhaps this is the meaning of the museum's establishment! To inherit and promote!

Sheshan Observatory (1584). Located at the summit of Sheshan Mountain in Songjiang District, Shanghai, Sheshan Observatory was established in the 26th year of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty (1900). Sheshan Observatory is the first professional astronomical observatory in modern China dedicated to the study of astronomical science. It is also the birthplace of modern Chinese astronomy and an important witness to the development of modern astronomy in China. On May 3, 2013, Sheshan Observatory was announced by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as the seventh batch of National Key Cultural Relics Protection Units. In September 2016, Sheshan Observatory was listed as one of the first batch of China's 20th Century Architectural Heritage.

It is a good plan for the CNY break if you are around in Shanghai. You can reach the museum by subway on line 16 until the last stop DiShui Lake and then walk from there for around 12, min #tigeryear2022 #shanghaiastronomymuseum
