Meteorology park to be built on Mount Huangshan

Xinhua, October 27, 2015 Adjust font size:

China will build its first meteorology park on Mount Huangshan in east China's Anhui Province, the Huangshan Management Committee said on Tuesday.

Huangshan is well known for its sunrises, winter snow and views from above the clouds, making it an ideal place to build the country's first park featuring meteorological scenes, according to the committee.

The concept of a meteorology park was first raised by Chinese scholars, said Lai Bixing, professor of Central South University of Forestry and Technology.

Meteorologists from China and the United States have spent 10 years researching scenic spots including Huangshan, Taishan, Yosemite and Fairbanks and have established a world meteorological park system.

The park on Huangshan will become the world's first of its kind and it will serve not only as a platform for meteorological science exploration but also an education base for youths, according to Lai. Endi
