A Night of Meteors: Why Are People Willing to Wait All Night?

Recently, iChongqing’s Russian host Natalia traveled to Fairy Mountain in Wulong to wait for the Perseid meteor shower. On the mountain meadow in the early hours of the morning, people had driven for hours to get there, lying quietly beneath the night sky. Some came with friends, some with their families, while others carried cameras and tripods, all waiting for the brief moment when a meteor streaked across the sky.
