A Long March-5B Y3 rocket carrying China's space station lab module Mengtian is set to blast off from Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site later this month. It's a milestone in the formation of China's T-shaped Tiangong Space Station, which will later host six Chinese astronauts simultaneously for the first time. Witnessing the live launch on site can be an eye-opening bucket-list experience for many. A group of young photographers, who call themselves SpaceLens, have made it their mission to document China's quest for space with high-quality original images. They follow every launch with meticulous shooting plans and share their expertise with like-minded photographers from all over the country. CGTN's Huang Fei follows some of these "Gen-Z" rocket chasers to see how they find prime viewing spots and what meaningful changes their hobby has brought to the community in Wenchang. Are you planning a trip to get up close and personal with a real rocket? Listen up and take notes.
