Space usually feels distant and mysterious – but 🚀 a visit to the Wenchang Space Exploration Center can change that in a flash. I stepped inside and suddenly felt like I was right on the launch pad, ready to blast off!
Located in south Hainan Province on the Chinese mainland, this center sits next to 🌊 coastal launch sites and offers an immersive journey through rockets, the space station, planetary missions and satellites. It's like walking into your own personal Star Wars hyperspace scene.
CGTN's Li Yiqing led the tour alongside Kanaikina Mariia, an international student studying at Hainan College of Foreign Studies. Through hands-on exhibits, mixed reality demos and cool everyday comparisons – imagine measuring a rocket by how many basketball courts long it'd be – space science suddenly makes total sense.
This Thursday (December 18), Hainan will roll out island-wide special customs operations for the Free Trade Port, and the center is ready to welcome even more visitors. Aerospace development is now linking science education with tourism, turning the island into a playground for tech enthusiasts and learners alike 🎓✈️.
Whether you're chasing a career in space science or just love cool tech, the Wenchang Space Exploration Center is a fun pit stop on any Hainan adventure. Who knew the final frontier could feel so… local?
