"Aerial Photography of China" can always see a "famous shot": a huge silver "cauldron" shining in the vast green sea. This is the world's largest 500-meter aperture radio telescope (FAST), known as the "eye of China's sky". The mountains in the background are the land of Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in Guizhou Province.

"Six thousand miles apart, heaven and earth are separated by rivers and mountains. Ten books and nine less, how to use a face. The great poet Huang Tingjian lamented the remoteness and desolation of Qiannan in "Ten Songs of Qiannan Province", but it was this remote land with "sparsely lit mountains" that attracted the attention of Nan Rendong, the "father of the eye of heaven". Nie Yueping, the chief engineer of FAST systems who worked under Nan Rendong, a native of Qiannan, recalled his hometown when he was a child: "It is no exaggeration to have wild big fish in the river, all kinds of birds in the sky, jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains. "The FAST construction team found Dawotai in Pingtang County, Qiannan Prefecture as the base site for FAST among thousands of karst depressions in Guizhou, creating a precedent for the construction of large-scale astronomical instruments using natural depressions. Since then, a mountain village that was once unable to be covered by mobile phone signals has become a sacred place for astronomers all over the world. Today, an astronomical town has been established outside the radio silence zone, with 3 five-star hotels and an astronomical museum, which has driven the development of tourism throughout Qiannan Prefecture.

In fact, before the birth of the "Eye of China", Qiannan Prefecture was already famous. In 2007, Libo Zhangjiang Scenic Area in Qiannan Prefecture, as an important part of the karst in southern China, became the first World Natural Heritage Site in Guizhou. The forest coverage rate of Qiannan Prefecture reached 65.82%, and Libo County reached 71.97%. The Maulan Karst Forest in the county is characterized by strong primitiveness and concentrated contiguity, and is the best preserved forest ecosystem in the world's karst landforms, known as the "emerald of the earth". The Zhangjiang River, represented by the large and small Qikong scenic spots, integrates water features, mountain views, forests, peaks and forests, and ethnic customs: aboveground rivers and underground rivers appear from time to time, and water networks are intertwined; Qifeng caves are dotted with ever-changing; Qiao shrub grass is clearly layered and full of business; The Buyi, Shui, Yao and other ethnic groups live next to each other, and they are happy. Man and nature, movement and static, rigidity and softness, beautiful.

In Guizhou, there is a saying: "There is Maotai in the north, Maojian in the south." This stems from the 1915 "Panama Universal Exposition" at which Kweichow Moutai and Duyun Maojian tea both won the gold medal. As one of the top ten famous teas in China, Duyun Maojian Tea pays attention to "three green through three yellow", that is, "dry tea color green with yellow, tea soup color green in yellow, leaf bottom green in yellow". Duyun City is the capital of Qiannan Prefecture, known as Tea City, Bridge City and Green City. The snail shell in the west of the city is the core production area of Maojian tea, and is named because the mountain shape resembles a snail. The snail shell is 1738 meters above sea level, with layers of mountains and canyons, with waterfalls that are more than 100 meters high and canyons that are about 300 meters deep. If you like to taste tea, you must go to the snail shell to experience the fun of picking tea and making tea; If you love landscapes, be sure to go to the top of Snail Shell Mountain to watch the sunrise and sunset; If you love life, you must go to the shell of the snail to clean your heart and lungs, where there are up to 5839 negative oxygen ions per cubic centimeter of air. Climbing the tea mountain, I heard the Buyi girl inviting guests with mountain songs from a distance; Walking into the cottage, the door wine intoxicated VIPs and distant visitors; Ascending the stilt building, the owner held out Maojian tea, and the essence of Qianshan precious water turned into this refreshing fragrance.
