Beautiful Geminid meteor shower in Lijiang

From Dec 13 to 16, Lijiang in Yunnan province offered the perfect spot to witness the Geminid meteor shower, with up to 200 meteors per hour lighting up the night sky.

Thanks to its location near the equator, clear skies, and minimal light pollution, Lijiang is a stargazers’ paradise. In recent years, it has become a hub for astronomy enthusiasts, offering unique experiences like stargazing camps, educational tours, and themed hotels.
