Chrysanthemum Terrace is located in Gangou Township in the southern suburb of Urumqi. It is a typical Tianshan grassland pasture. In terms of geography, it is an alluvial fan platform with a gentle slope. The stream at the bottom of the ditch is winding, the north is densely covered with pines, and the south is lush with green grass. On the flat and wide platform, wild chrysanthemums bloom from April to October every year, and the aroma is striking, hence the name Chrysanthemum Terrace. The entire Chrysanthemum Terrace is 2000-2400 meters above sea level and covers an area of about 500 hectares. There are often red deer in the dense forest. When the wild chrysanthemums are in full bloom, the eyes are golden yellow, full of fragrance, and the sun casts the shadows of white clouds on the green grass, flowing like flowing water, which adds a different kind of scenery to the scenic spot. Walking in the meantime, one can't help but be in high spirits and reverie. Friends who like photography can find inspiration here in the morning and evening, and take beautiful works. On the middle beam platform on the east side of Chrysanthemum Terrace is the Urumqi Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, where the largest radio astronomy telescope in my country is built, with a diameter of 25 meters.
