Astronomical Square at Yiwu Observing Site

The observing site was nearly on the eclipse path centerline on a high plateau east of Hami, close to the small town of Yiwu in the Weizi Gorge area of the Gobi Desert. The local Yiwu government built this impressive facility just for our special solar eclipse day.
