China: its own station in the sky
China's coastal spaceport has turned the town of Wenchang, on Hainan Island, into a genuine launch-tourism destination. When a Long March rocket lifts off, beaches and viewing decks fill with families craning for the fireball over the palm trees, and homestays sell out within sight of the pads. The island pairs launch-day spectacle with year-round exhibits explaining the Tiangong station and lunar missions. Inland, the historic Jiuquan centre in the Gobi remains far harder…
Wenchang and Jiuquan centres, the Tiangong station, the Chang'e missions: China runs a full, self-reliant space programme.
China operates its own space station, Tiangong, and landed a craft on the far side of the Moon (Chang'e-4).
