Guizhou Telescope

Guizhou now has the biggest radio telescope in the world.  It will be operational soon.

World’s Largest Radio Telescope Nears Completion, And It’s Going To Find ALIENS

May 3, 2016

The world’s largest radio telescope is almost finished – and it’s going to try to make contact with extra-terrestrial life.

This fascinating video and stunning photos show how close the 500m wide Aperture Spherical Telescope, or “FAST”, is to completion.

The structure, in China, will be operational by September and key components have already been tested.

Spanning 1,640ft in diameter, the telescope is a £125 million initiative that has been under construction since 2011 in Pingtang County in China’s Guizhou Province.

The structure is being fitted with 4,500 shiny panels following a successful dry run of its hardware last November.

FAST is three miles away from the nearest inhabited town, meaning it will have the perfect radio silence needed to listen to listen to the skies above.

Officials moved some 9,000 from the region to make way for the radio telescope, which will be the biggest of its kind.

Jiang’s Blood and Guts Noodles

My friend Jenny just opened a popular restaurant on a popular corner in Guiyang. The coagulated pig blood is a delicacy in Guiyang, as are the intestines of the pig. These are combined with noodles and broth to make a very popular noodle soup. Jiang is a famous name and a popular bowl of noodles known in Guiyang.  This is a franchise situation. I think Jenny has a winner.

Guiyang Poly Golf

In Xintian Zhai in the Northeast of Guiyang a new golf course has opened. It is a beautiful place, with many new homes. The clubhouse and driving range are top notch and the course is professionally designed.

Tang Xinling, Cindy, is the Marketing Manager, and if you want to golf there, you can call her at 1515261199005 for a tee time. She can help you talk to a taxi driver and give you other help.  Maybe you should bring another Chinese person to help with translations.
