Sai Kung Astropark opens - Astropark


The newly completed Astropark has opened, providing recreational, educational and astronomical facilities for viewing the night sky.



Situated in Chong Hing Water Sports Centre, Sai Kung, the $3 million facility is equipped with astronomical equipment managed by the Space Museum.

Occupying a 1,200-square-metre site, it is divided into the Educational Zone, Naked-eye Observation Area and Telescopic Observation Area.

The Educational Zone has eight replicas of ancient Chinese astronomical instruments, including an armillary sphere, equatorial sundial and direction-determining table.
