The astronomical observation base of Lenghu is located at Saishiteng Mountain, Lenghu Town, Mangya City, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province.

Lenghu astronomical observation base is located in Saishiteng Mountain, Lenghu Town, Mangya City, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, with an average elevation of about 4, meters. The construction of Qinghai Lenghu astronomical observation base is extremely important for the development of large-scale optical/infrared observation facilities and international cooperation in the future, and is of great significance to the development of astronomy in China and even the world.

It is hoped that Lenghu will be included in the candidate sites of major national scientific infrastructure planning and construction projects, and will be given full support in terms of policies, projects, funds, popular science and talents, so as to build Lenghu into a world-class astronomical observation base, a first-class astronomical industrial base and an international tourist destination to undertake all kinds of scientific apparatus settlements at home and abroad.

in April p>223, the world's first mid-infrared observation system for accurate measurement of solar magnetic field, a major instrument special project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, made new progress. One of its core scientific instruments, the 8-1 micron infrared terminal imaging system, has arrived at Lenghu Astronomical Observation Base, and started docking and debugging with the telescope system.
