An international dark sky reserve with zero light pollution, you can see the Milky Way and the Southern Cross with your own eyes, and the brilliant starry sky is visible to the naked eye.

It was a wonderful event. The two staff members that evening were also very kind; they provided blankets and hot chocolate, enthusiastically helped with taking photos, and provided easy-to-understand explanations. We even saw the aurora borealis, and there were small gifts given at the end.

The driver and guide were very humorous and explained astronomical knowledge very well. Cowan Mountain is actually on the side of the road, very close. Overall, I am satisfied!
