The elderly, children, pregnant women and other people with mobility difficulties must be accompanied by healthy adult family members when entering the park; Visitors who can't climb mountains, suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure and other diseases should not venture into the park. If you insist on entering the park, you need to be accompanied by healthy adult family members at your own risk. You must go through three levels to reach the scenic spot.

Tickets are not sold in FAST Scenic Area, and visitors can visit it for free only by paying the bus ferry fee in 50 yuan. Of course, more tourists are willing to spend more time in 50 yuan and walk into the Astronomical Experience Hall to broaden their horizons.

Although it is only 10 kilometers, it is not easy for tourists to reach the FAST scenic spot from the astronomical town, and they have to go through three checkpoints and two security checks.

According to the regulations, tourists must deposit all electronic products such as mobile phones, smart bracelets and tablets in the tourist service center before taking the car ferry. If you refuse to cooperate, you will be refused to enter the FAST scenic spot.

To this end, the visitor service center also issued a warning reminder in a prominent position. It is forbidden to bring in car keys, lighters, matches, fruit knives, scissors and other items. The security check is far more strict than the airport.

The car ferry to the FAST scenic spot has also been modified. With the GPS removed, tourists can't enter the FAST site, so they can only take a car ferry to bypass. After stricter security check, they boarded the observation deck and looked out.

What if I want to take pictures? You can rent a fully manual film camera provided by the scenic spot. There is no cell phone signal coverage around FAST, so you can only use wired telephone booths for free.

"Although it is troublesome, it is completely understandable, and we don't want to bring any interference to FAST." Huang _, a tourist from Xingyi, Guizhou, said. In fact, in order to see the true face of FAST, Huang _ is not the only tourist who is "not afraid of trouble".

Qiannan Daily reported that in the first half of last year, Pingtang County achieved a total tourism revenue of 55180,000 yuan, a year-on-year increase of 38.74%, and * * * received 5136,300 tourists, a year-on-year increase of 40.58%. Among them, there were 2,967,400 tourists from outside the province, a year-on-year increase of 42.05%.

Although the number of tourists in FAST scenic spot is unknown, the fire of popular science tourism can be seen.

As the first batch of China's top ten science and technology tourism bases, the popular science tourism economy in FAST Scenic Area has begun to take shape. Stars, Xingyuan and Jixing are in the astronomical town, and hotels and farmhouses with these words can be seen everywhere.

Long Baoxue, a villager who moved out of the core area of FAST, runs a restaurant in the astronomical town, with a turnover of 30,000 yuan on the first day of opening. "Every holiday, the streets and alleys of Astronomy Town are crowded with people, and restaurants and hotels are in short supply."

In order to strengthen control, Pingtang, Guizhou Province stipulates that FAST Scenic Area receives 2000 tourists every day. From September 20th, real-name registration system online booking was implemented in FAST Scenic Area, and on-site ticketing service was no longer provided.

Escort in the 30-kilometer quiet zone. Come on.

Like Long Baoxue, thousands of households have moved out of the core area of FAST.

In fact, what Guizhou has done goes far beyond the relocation of immigrants. According to Zhang Shuxin, deputy manager and office director of the FAST project of the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, whether it is cleaning up the radio stations in the core area, permanently shutting down the mobile communication base station, or even closing the mine, Guizhou's electromagnetic wave environment control in the FAST quiet area, especially in the core area, is not too strong.

Radio waves, like light, are also a kind of electromagnetic radiation, which travels far and weakly in space. In order to ensure that FAST can "capture" the extremely weak radio waves emitted by deep space objects, it must be ensured that it is not interfered by the surrounding radio frequency signals.

In view of the high sensitivity of FAST telescope and the complicated situation around the site, as early as 20 13, Guizhou Province issued the Measures for the Protection of Electromagnetic Quiet Zone of 500-meter-diameter Spherical Radio Telescope in Guizhou Province in the form of governor's order, taking FAST site as the center, setting the surrounding 30 kilometers as a quiet zone, and strictly controlling different levels of electromagnetic interference. It is stipulated that the radius of the core area is within 5 kilometers, the middle area is within 5 to 10 kilometers, and the remote area is within 10 to 30 kilometers.

The Regulations on Environmental Protection of Electromagnetic Quiet Zone of 500-meter Spherical Radio Telescope in Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, which was promulgated and implemented in September 2065438+2006, raised the environmental protection of FAST to the legal level.

In the quiet zone of 30 kilometers, electromagnetic wave control, vegetation landform protection, forest fire prevention, etc. are all included in the scope of legal protection, especially in the core zone, all construction projects unrelated to FAST are put an end to, and it is strictly forbidden to set up and use radio stations (stations) and build facilities that generate radiated electromagnetic waves.

This means mobile phones, televisions, microwave ovens, gasoline cars and so on. Will not be allowed to enter the core area. In addition, in remote areas, the transmission frequency and power of radio and other equipment are also limited accordingly.

Why is the quiet zone 30 kilometers, not 40 or 50 kilometers? Zhang Shuxin explained that the delineation of the scope of protection should mainly consider not only ensuring the normal operation and scientific detection of FAST, but also minimizing the impact on local economic development. At the same time, this is also the opinion and suggestion put forward by the National Astronomical Observatory based on the tracking monitoring and experiment of electromagnetic environment, which has been repeatedly demonstrated by the National Astronomical Observatory and Guizhou Province.

The quality of electromagnetic environment is "excellent"

Visitors to FAST from a distance are still strictly restricted, and the scientists and staff stationed at the scene are more like seclusion in the mountains. Since all the communication base stations nearby have been closed, they can only contact the outside world through fixed telephones.

Mobile phones and bracelets can't be turned on, there is no microwave oven, digital cameras and wireless networks can't be used casually, and even seemingly harmless hair dryers are limited by radio frequency interference. Visitors entering the site, even domestic and foreign heavyweight guests, must strictly abide by the "rules of the game" here without exception.

Even so, anti-interference measures are still essential. In addition to providing high-standard shielding and filtering equipment, the EMC working group was stationed long before FAST was put into use, and was responsible for the monitoring, protection and coordination of the radio environment around FAST, as well as the EMC design, rectification and testing of FAST. In order to ensure the normal operation of FAST, since 2005, the National Astronomical Observatory and the radio management organization of Guizhou Province have focused on the monitoring and analysis of radio interference.

Jiang Peng, chief engineer of FAST project of National Astronomical Observatory of Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that the electromagnetic environment is of great scientific significance to FAST telescope. By monitoring and analyzing the surrounding electromagnetic environment, the overall quality of FAST electromagnetic environment is still relatively good so far. "At the same time, it should be noted that although the increase of tourists will bring corresponding pressure to management, as long as it is properly managed, the number of tourists is not an important influencing factor, and only strong control measures are needed. Judging from the current situation, the local government's protection of the electromagnetic environment in the core area of FAST is still fruitful. "

In fact, FAST can settle in Guizhou, and researchers are also happy to see that popular science tourism promotes local economic development and helps to get rid of poverty and become rich. However, how to find a balance between scientific exploration and economic development and make FAST play its greatest role may be a problem that the National Astronomical Observatory and Guizhou Province must face together.

Jiang Peng said that according to the debugging progress, FAST will start its scientific operation in an all-round way, which requires the National Astronomical Observatory to strengthen cooperation with local governments and radio management agencies, especially to deepen the protection measures in central and remote areas.

At the same time, local authorities are considering setting up special projects, carrying out normal monitoring and improving protection strategies to stabilize and improve the electromagnetic wave environment quality and ensure FAST to give full play to its scientific capabilities.
