Description:
CHAOYANG SOUTH DISTRICT. This remarkable tower was built in 1437 to house the astronomical observatory. During the Qing Dynasty, the Jesuits taught modern astronomy to the Chinese who used it largely for astrological calculations. Now a museum displays an interesting collection of astronomical devices, some locally constructed, others gifts to the emperor such as an azimuth from Louis XIV of France.
