According to Wang Zhi, president of Haba Lake Tourism Development Co Ltd, the company has introduced two new telescopes. The first is an advanced 152mm-caliber compound apochromatic telescope, a type that combines three colors into a single focal point to provide clarity when observing planets and distant stars. The second is an automated telescope with star-finding and tracking features. They also built a one-of-a-kind observatory that is 16 meters in diameter and has a dome shape. This observatory can be retracted electronically and was designed with safety, aesthetics, and the environment in mind.
