Space-Themed Tourism is getting increasingly popular in China’s Northern Regions

Space-themed tourism is getting increasingly popular in China’s northern regions including Gansu and Inner Mongolia, where local landscapes resembling Mars provide a unique opportunity for space enthusiasts to fulfill their dream of space exploration.

Known for its vast Gobi Desert, Gansu’s Jinchang City has built a Mars Simulation Survival Experience Center to resonate with its Mars-like outdoors scenery. The center includes nine modules such as the main control cabin, biological cabin, and medical cabin, simulating the living and research conditions for astronauts on Mars.

Visitors can walk through airlocks and the main control cabin to reach the biological cabin, where they can observe how vegetables are grown on Mars and taste various space foods.
