How long have you not seen the stars? When you're exhausted in the evening rush hour subway, someone lights a bonfire and dances under the stars, and a few meteors are passing overhead. When we were young, we were happy, because on any night, we could see the sky full of stars as soon as we looked up. Nowadays, looking at the stars has almost become a luxury.


The development of industry, the aggravation of pollution, and the smog shrouded the city, not to mention looking at the stars, even if you look at the building across the road, you may not be able to see it completely. However, there are still places in the world where the stars are so bright and the Milky Way is clearly visible. This article will introduce 7 stargazing spots in the world.
