Day 3 Huishui-Tianyan-Libo    (B/L/D)

• In the morning，visit the FAST, China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope is proposed to be built in the unique karst area of southwest China, and will act, in a sense, as a prototype for the Square Kilometer Array (SKA). It will be over twice as large as the Arecibo telescope coupled with much wider sky coverage. Some results from site surveys for such a SKA concept are briefly reported. Technically, FAST is not simply a copy of the existing Arecibo telescope but has rather a number of innovations. Firstly, the proposed main spherical reflector, by conforming to a paraboloid of revolution in real time through actuated active control, enables the realization of both wide bandwidth and full polarization capability while using standard feed design. Secondly, a feed support system which integrates optical, mechanical and electronic technologies will effectively reduce the cost of the support structure and control system.
• In the afternoon, transfer to Libo,on the way, visit the Pingtang Bridge, the colossal cable-supported viaduct with a span of 2,135 meters will serve as a major connection on the Pingtang-Luodian Expressway above Caodu River Canyon. At 332 meters high, the diamond-shaped main support is the world's tallest reinforced concrete bridge tower.
• Overninght in Libo

Day 4 Libo-Rongjiang     (B/L/D)

• Visit Libo Xiaoqilkong Scenic Spot, honoured as “Small Jiuzhaigou”, Xiaoqikong Scenic Area is best known for the seven-arched Xiaoqikong Bridge, which is a landmark of Libo Zhangjiang Scenic Area. It was built in 1835 on a vital traffic road in ancient times between Qiannan City and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. With a length of 44 yards (40 meters), a width of 2.4 yards (2.2 meters), and a height of 6.0 yards (5.5 meters), the bridge shows delicate structures and exquisite craftsmanship.
• Due to continuous erosion, Xiaoqikong Scenic Area has evolved into the deep V-shaped Xiangshui River Valley, which is home to plunging waterfalls. In the upper reaches of Xiangshui River, Laya Waterfall seems to link with the sky at the top surrounded by clouds. Near Laya Waterfall, a 68-step waterfall flows down at random along a winding river less than 1 mile (2 kilometers). Downstream of Xiangshui River, the Green Valley Waterfall is surrounded by high green mountains which colour its water with green.
• Transfer to Rongjiang,overninght in Rongjiang
