【推荐1】Astrotourism: Travel to a place where you can see stars
Few sights are as breathtaking as the night sky full of stars. But you can’t get a good view of the stars in cities. Nowadays, increasing numbers of people are participating in astrotourism — traveling to destinations where they can focus on viewing stars, planets and other space-related phenomena.
Star party in Nebraska, USA
In north-central Nebraska, a week-long Star Party has been held annually for almost 30 years. Held at the Merritt Reservoir (水库), the party features classes teaching beginners about astronomy, along with some programs especially for children. The party features challenges such as a photo contest. During the day, visitors can swim in the reservoir and go fishing and boating.
Jasper National Park, Canada
The second-largest dark sky preserve in the world, Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada, covers 11,000 square kilometers. In October each year, visitors show up there for the Jasper Dark Sky Festival, making Jasper National Park one of Canada’s top astrotourism destinations. During the day, visitors can enjoy the beauty of the park’s glaciers (冰川), streams, lakes and mountains.
Chile
With an average of 300 nights with clear skies per year, Chile is a great destination for astrotourism. The clear skies mean visitors are very likely to be able to see stars and planets without clouds blocking their view.
Finland
Northern Finland is one of the best places in the world to take in the northern lights. They are usually green but can be pink and more rarely red and violet In Finland’s Lapland region, they are visible 200 nights a year.
Wherever you go, astrotourism provides an opportunity to pause and reflect on the wonders of the universe.

The House on Mango Street
Released (发行)in 1984 and written by Mexican-American author Sandra Cisneros, The House on Mango Street is only 103 pages long. It’s a fast read for those looking to dip their toes into the water, but it is attractive because it deals with important subject matters including language, race, ageing.
The Midnight Library
The Midnight Library from the English author Matt Haig was released in 2020. It’s 288 pages, which makes it a little ‘more challenging but still absolutely doable in a single day. The novel is all about ‘storytelling, with Nora Seed exploring the “what ifs” of her life. There are a large number of books that could have been written about her journey, and The Midnight Library houses them all.
Stardust
The 1999 novel by English author Neil Gaiman is a perfect mix of the writer’s fantasy (幻想) stylings at their best. Stardust sits at 256 pages, but the reader can fit the novel into a single day, giving them a true sense of absolute escapism to the fantasy land of Stormhold.
The Perilous Life of Jade Yeo
Released in 2012 and written by the fantastic Malaysian-English author Zen Cho, the page count is an extremely manageable 76 pages, which makes this the most effective first read for those starting out in the book-a-day club.
