The night sky in Chongming is beautiful, with many areas far from light pollution, high sky transparency, and a calm atmosphere, making it one of the best stargazing spots.

Recently, with favorable weather and good visibility, tourists from outside the island came here hoping to witness the romantic sight of shooting stars streaking across the sky.

The Dongtan Wetland Park has always been a popular stargazing spot for enthusiasts. On that day, the Dongtan Wetland Park, in collaboration with the well-known astronomy club M21 from Shanghai, hosted the "2023 Gemini Meteor Shower-themed Stargazing Party." Over a hundred "star fans" gathered for the event. At the venue, not only did star enthusiasts bring various advanced stargazing equipment, but there were also demonstrations and experiences with the latest optical instruments. "Stargazing experts" shared their knowledge of stargazing and instrument modification techniques.

On that night, meteors continued to shimmer. Everyone gathered on the lawn, capturing the moment's beauty with continuous camera clicks.

Visitors who come to Chongming for leisure and stay in rural areas can look up to see the stars. In December, the Houniao Camp in Zhongxing Town launched the "Return to Nature, Stargazing Camping" activity. On the night of the meteor shower, many stargazing enthusiasts brought their children along with telescopes, cameras, tents, and more to experience stargazing camping. This unique experience left a deep impression. "It's hard to see the stars in the city anymore," said the visitors, who felt that taking their children to rural Chongming was well worth it.

In the vast rural areas of Chongming, the excellent ecological environment also provides convenient conditions for stargazing. In addition to well-known stargazing spots, there are more stargazing areas hidden in undeveloped countryside fields.
