(220720) -- GUIZHOU, July 20, 2022 (Xinhua) -- Combo photo shows a relocation site in Kedu Township of Pingtang County, southwest China's Guizhou Province on March 29, 2018 (top) and July 19, 2022 (bottom), respectively. In 2007, Pingtang County launched a relocation program that involved 6,653 rural residents from Kedu and Tangbian townships. The program was implemented in order to prepare for the construction of the FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope), also known as the "China Sky Eye." Kedu Township started a plan to transform itself into an astronomy-themed town from September 2015, taking advantage of its proximity to the FAST. Kedu now has more than 20 projects built to promote astronomical science. Many relocated rural residents have found jobs or started their own businesses in the town. (Xinhua/Ou Dongqu)
