Chinese term

Astronautics Qiguan

Chinese to English Other Tourism & Travel
this is from a description of a hotel on a booking site: "...is a 18-minute drive from Grand World Scenic Park and Astronautics Qiguan"

does anybody know what 'Astronautics Qiguan' actually stands for?
i suppose it's a museum of some sort, otherwise why would it mentioned in a hotel description as something potentially worth driving to
but there's no way to check if i'm right: i haven't been able to google it; all the hits direct back to the booking site
i'd be grateful for any suggestions

thanks!

In case you do not understand Chinese, Qiguan is the pinyin (phoneticized form) of 奇观, and 航天 means Astronautics. So Astronautics Qiguan is actually an awful translation of 航天奇观.

It seems this site do not have an official English name. You can also call it "Aerospace Wonders" (a more straightforward translation) if you like.
