Description
Qixing Tai(七星台, the platform of Big Dipper ) scenic area in the southern mountains of Jinan. Blocking pollution and noise from the city, the mountain has made this area a popular destination for self-driving tours and motorcycle rides in Jinan, which became a "dark sky preserve " in 2012.

Without the light pollution, a small scope can get as good a view as a bigger one in worse conditions.
