The city of Wenchang in the northeast of Hainan is becoming a popular destination for tourists from different countries due to regular space launches. On launch days, guests from Russia, France, Malaysia and other countries gather here, and local tour operators note a steady increase in demand for such trips.
Of particular interest is the location of China's only coastal spaceport. The launches take place against the backdrop of the sea and beaches, and many viewing platforms are freely accessible. Tourists note the unusual combination of modern space technologies and picturesque natural landscapes.
The growing popularity of space tourism is also associated with the active development of China's space program. The Wenchang Cosmodrome is used for the implementation of major national projects, including lunar missions and satellite launches. At the same time, the authorities are developing the tourist and educational infrastructure, creating new facilities for visitors from China and other countries.
