Meteorology museum in Nanjing offers free entry on World Meteorological Day

Visitors look at an engraving at the Beijige meteorological museum in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province that represents the 24 solar terms. The visitors were at the museum on World Meteorological Day on Saturday, March 23, 2019. The 24 solar terms are based on the sun's position in the zodiac. They were created by farmers in ancient China as a guide for agricultural affairs and farming activities, and are still used as a point of reference today. [Photo: VCG]
