What travelers say:

The original point of the People's Republic of China is located in Beiliu Village, Yongle Town, Fuyang County, Shaanxi Province. The specific location is: 34°32′27.00″ north latitude, 108°55′25.00″ east longitude. The original point of the earth, also known as the base point of the earth, is the starting point and the base point of the national geographical coordinates - longitude and latitude. The origin of the earth is a point defined by man, and it is to establish a unified coordinate system of the country by the method of Gaussian plane right angle coordinates, using the "1980 national coordinate system", referred to as "80 system", also known as "1980 Xi'an coordinate system". In the 1970s, China decided to establish its own independent earth coordinate system. Through field visits and comprehensive analysis, the original location of China's earth was finally determined in Beiliu Village, Yongle Town, Fuyang County, Shaanxi Province. The entire facility of the earth origin consists of four major parts: central sign, instrument stand, main building, projection stand, etc. The three-dimensional building more than 25 meters above the ground has seven floors, the top floor is the observation room, and the instrument stand is built in; The top of the building is a whole semicircular roof made of glass steel, which can be opened by electronic control to observe the celestial body; the center sign is buried in the center of the basement of the main building.
