Perseid meteor shower guide: 20+ star-chasing routes and stargazing spots across China

Preface

The annual Perseid meteor shower is about to make its grand debut!

This year's Perseid meteor shower will last from July 17 to August 24, and is expected to reach its peak from August 12 to August 14.

Xiaoxia has carefully selected 20+ routes, including many high-quality stargazing spots across the country, mainly short routes of 1-2 days, as well as some long routes of 4-5 days for relaxing vacations, leisure, hiking, parent-child, photography... a variety of themed tours for you to choose from.

For tourists who find it difficult to take leave or have insufficient vacation time, I suggest traveling nearby and seeing a meteor shower on the weekend. For tourists who can easily take leave and have sufficient vacation time, I suggest considering a long-term trip so that they have more time to encounter meteor showers and travel around the beautiful land of our motherland!

Come and gather your friends and family to watch a romantic meteor shower together~
