To get a good look at the stars, it is usual to rush to a high mountain or the beach when the weather is clear, but actually you don't need to go that far. Tainan Astronomical Education Area (南瀛天文教育園區) located in Danei, Tainan, is equipped with an observatory, exhibition hall and astronomy hall. The observatory's telescope is 76 centimeters, which is the largest caliber in the country. The exhibition hall is extremely popular with children for its space flight simulation area; the space shuttle takes 7.5 minutes to take off and is an immensely enjoyable experience that you simply must try. The main display in the astronomy room is a Hubble Space Telescope, and there is also a 3D theater, where you can bravely charge into outer space with 3D glasses! The daytime observatory is nearby on a small hill with moon-like terrain, with extraordinarily beautiful views when the weather is clear. When evening comes it has a different atmosphere altogether, the lighting adding a sense of romance. Besides parent and child visit, it is also a suitable spot for romantic dates.
