Our largest astronomical telescope project at one of the best sites on Earth. 三程飛機，再通宵開300公里車到達青海冷湖，處理我們歷來最大型天文望遠鏡技術項目。這裡加上雲南一共有四十多個塔，每一個塔都是一台大型望遠鏡。這裡大氣穩定度可以媲美南極洲Dome A、夏威夷同埋智利，達到0.3"以下，屬世界最頂級。這地點歷史上也很特別，是在隋唐及吐蕃夾擊下煙沒在歷史長河的古國吐谷渾，不遠處是杜甫的《兵車行》寫到古來白骨無人收的青海頭。
After taking three connecting flights and then driving 300 kilometers overnight, we finally arrived at Lenghu, Qinghai, to work on the largest astronomical telescope technical project we’ve ever handled. Together with the installations in Yunnan, there are over forty towers, each one a large telescope. The atmospheric stability in this area rivals that of Dome A in Antarctica, Hawaii, and Chile, reaching below 0.3 arcseconds, making it one of the best sites in the world for astronomical observation. This location is also special in history. It lies within the ancient kingdom of Tuyuhun, a nation that vanished from history amidst the conflicts between the Sui-Tang dynasties and the Tibetan Empire. Not far from here is the place Du Fu described in his poem "The Army Carts”, where "since ancient times, white bones lie unburied along the frontier at Qinghai.”
