With the successful launch of Shenzhou XII and its entry into the Chinese space station, "aerospace" has become a hot search term for this summer's summer camp. This summer's much-anticipated punch card place, the world's largest planetarium with a construction area - Shanghai Planetarium officially opened on the 17th, and opened to the public from the 18th.

Zhang Yao, a staff member of the Education and Research and Development Department of the Shanghai Planetarium Exhibition and Education Center, said: "We used a high-precision optical planetarium in the center of the venue, which has a lot of optical fibers to hit the sharp stars on the screen. The starry sky we saw in the Optical Planetarium Hall of the Shanghai Planetarium is the starry sky we can see when we go to the suburbs, and the demonstration effect is very realistic. ”

It is expected that this summer, the Shanghai Planetarium will usher in the peak of student groups and parent-child tours.

Not only the Shanghai Planetarium and other popular science exhibition halls, the use of summer away from the hustle and bustle of the city, let the children in nature, play in middle school, school play, has become the first choice for many parents to travel.

In the parent-child travel products, this trend of "learning in the tour" is rapidly emerging, and the proportion of orders for research and learning products is as high as 68%, of which the grassland research and learning is a major highlight this year. Zhang Guodong, deputy general manager of an ecological pasture in Inner Mongolia, said: "(The original project) is all sand and grass slippery, with a certain degree of homogeneity, and the competition is also fierce. We have developed new projects, family tours, family trips may become the mainstream, we will add some outdoor projects. ”

Among the many tourism products in the summer, the rural summer camp is also welcomed by parents and children. A study camp in Chun'an County, Hangzhou City, began to receive groups at the end of June this year. In more than half a month, it attracted 3 summer camp teams and more than 300 students to participate in various study activities. Study courses here include river tracing, cycling, rock climbing and more. Shen Qin, the head of the study camp, said that through practice and interactive experience, children can develop independent behavior habits such as quilt folding, laundry, and hygiene, and learn to work together as a team to broaden their horizons while also gaining knowledge and skills.

In addition, this summer, many places have also launched red tourism boutique routes. Recently, Xiaobu Town, Ningdu County, Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, welcomed more than 100 primary and secondary school students from all over the world, who came here to carry out summer camp research activities and receive revolutionary traditional education. By listening to red stories, visiting red cultural relics, and retaking guerrilla trails, you can feel the revolutionary spirit left by the older generation of revolutionaries in this land. Huang Wei, a summer camp student, said: "It is very meaningful to participate in this red study. I deeply realized how bitter and tired the Red Army was back then, without their bloody sacrifices, there would be no happy life today, and we will study hard in the future to serve the motherland. ”

In Kaifeng, Henan, there are also more than a dozen study and travel bases that have developed more than 300 high-quality research courses around the four themes of Yellow River research, ancient capital research, character research and red research. Liu Ziqi, head of a travel agency in Henan Province, introduced that with the continuous improvement of the popularity of red tourism, patriotic education theme tourism products are favored. Many parents hope to take their children to personally experience the development and strength of the country, further strengthen the education of loving the party and the country for their children, and make the journey more meaningful.
