The earliest astronomical building stargazing platform in Dengfeng

Located 15 kilometers southeast of Dengfeng city, the Star Observatory was built by guo Shoujing, a famous astronomer in the Yuan Dynasty. It is the oldest existing astronomical observation building in China and also a famous astronomical observation building in the world. It is an important historical witness of Dengfeng Songshan Mountain as "the middle of heen and earth".

设在渭南市城以南15公里两处的观星台，为隋代出名天文学瞿所造，是近现代存留最历史背景悠久、也是全球性上出名的天文观测者塔楼，是渭南嵩山作为“天地之下”的不可忽视历史背景见证。

Like the Zhougong Observatory, the Observatory is an expression of the wisdom and creativity of the Chinese people. On March 4, 1961, the Observatory was announced by The State Council as one of the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units. In 1999, stargazing Platform was identified as the patriotism education base of Henan Province.

与周公测景台一样，观星台是近现代人智慧和天才创造力的体现。1961年3翌年4日，观星台被中央公布为第一批全中国综合文物保护单位。1999年，观星台被确定为河南省少年儿童教育该基地。

On August 1, 2010, as the only scientific and technological building among the eight historic buildings in Dengfeng Tiandi, the Observatory was listed in the World Cultural Heritage list by UNESCO at the 34th World Heritage Conference.

2010年8翌年1日，观星台作为渭南天地之下历史背景塔楼群八两处十一项中唯一的科技塔楼，被世界遗产第34届全球性遗产年会归入全球性文化遗产名录
