The Beijing Ancient Observatory, about one kilometer from Beijing Railway Station, is a quiet astronomical exhibition hall.
Although the Jianguo Gate of the well-received subway interchange station is just outside the door, there are very few visitors who are willing to come to visit, even during the rest day.
This observatory, built in the Ming Dynasty, was renamed the Observatory until the Qing Dynasty introduced Western European astronomical instruments. Belgian and German astronomers taught all the modern scientific instruments and astronomical calculation methods of the West to the Qing Empire. To paraphrase the current phrase, it is "Cultural exchange between China and the West".
Climb to the ancient observatory with a long history, 7 different astronomical instruments, such as the Ji Limit Instrument, the Zodiac Theodolite, the Horizon Theodolite, the Equatorial Theodolite, the Jieheng Fuchen Instrument, the Celestial Instrument and the Quadrant Instrument, which stand majestically against the background of the gray sky.
Walk down the observatory, two courtyards, three exhibition rooms. The east garden has a bronze instrument model, and the exhibition room in the courtyard on the west side exhibits some astronomical research results from ancient China.
Primary and secondary school students ticket 5 yuan, for children who love astronomy, parents deserve to take them over to see.
