A world-class astronomical observatory is under construction in the town of Lenghu, northwest China's Qinghai Province. It has an average elevation of 3,800 meters. The site was chosen for the plateau region's clear night sky and stable atmospheric conditions. Experts say the complex is expected to provide key support in developing optical astronomy, planetary science and deep space exploration in China.
