GUIYANG Womens DeForest Buckner Jersey , Sept. 7 (Xinhua) -- This is the quietest tourist site in China -- no phones, cameras and cars are allowed inside. Even planes have been rerouted to avoid disturbance, but still, it draws thousands of tourists.
Since it began operation in September last year, the world's largest radio telescope Womens Joe Williams Jersey , located in southwestern province of Guizhou, has received 240,000 tourists, according to local authorities.
The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) is a single-dish telescope, with a diameter of half a kilometer. It was built in Dawodang depression Womens C.J. Beathard Jersey , a natural karst basin in Pingtang County, an impoverished area in mountainous Guizhou.
The telescope is used to probe space for the faintest signs of life and is sensitive to any electromagnetic interference.
Nearly 10,000 residents living in the core zone, within five kilometers of the telescope, have been relocated.
"All phones and cameras must be handed in if visitors want to enter the core area Womens Ahkello Witherspoon Jersey ," said Liu Xingwu, a local tour operator.
"Vehicle engine ignitions also produce electromagnetic waves, so all sightseeing vehicles which enter the core zone have been modified to remove magnetic interference," said Liu.
With a total investment of 1.2 billion yuan (about 188 million U.S. dollars), the telescope has also created a boom in tourism for the county Womens Reuben Foster Jersey , which is home to around 330,000 people.
An astronomical and cultural park is being extended. New theaters and exhibition centers will open ahead of the National Day holiday in October, said Shi Bangze, director of the county tourism bureau.
Shi said that any increase in tourist numbers must not interfere with scientific studies underway at FAST.
"Scientist are using FAST to probe space, and they do not want any disturbances Womens Solomon Thomas Jersey , so tourism can only be developed on the condition that the research functions are not impeded," he said.
The county has instigated a daily cap of 2,000 visitors within the core area.
"Most travellers come on weekends and holidays. We use manual film cameras rather than digital ones to take photos of the visitors. The cameras have been tested for interference," Shi said.
"Once the daily limit is reached, we divert tourists to other scenic areas further away from the telescope Womens Dante Pettis Jersey ," he said.

NAIROBI, March 8 (Xinhua) -- The World Bank on Tuesday urged Kenya to focus on reviving the agricultural sector in order to reduce poverty levels.
World Bank Country Director for Kenya Diarietou Gaye said agriculture is the largest employer in the country, and therefore improvements in productivity will have a huge impact in reducing poverty levels.
"Reviving agriculture remains the pathway for poverty reduction," Gaye said during the launch of the Kenya Country Economic Memorandum: From Growth to Jobs and Shared Prosperity.
The report, published by the World Bank Womens Mike McGlinchey Jersey , analyses major sectors of the country's economy.
The report says Kenya's growth model has been well-regarded for a number of reasons. The country has never sought or received debt relief, but has opted for better economic policy -- raising revenues, liberalizing trade and the forex market.
The report says, however, that agriculture's share in GDP declined from 26.5 percent in 2006 to 22.0 percent in 2014 Joshua Garnett Jersey , while manufacturing stagnated at 11.8 percent of GDP on average during the same period.
Gaye said the performance of the agricultural sector has been disappointing due to its vulnerability to weather shocks.
According to the country director, nations that lifted many people put of poverty have relied on improving agricultural sector productivity.
She noted that Kenya on average allocates five percent of its national budget to agriculture against the ten percent it has committed.
The bank noted that improvements in agriculture would enable a labor to make a transition to more productive sectors of the economy.
Gaye urged the government to prioritize agricultural development so that Kenya creates job opportunities for the growing working age population.
The report also notes that the growth has not been inclusive in Kenya: poverty, unemployment, and informality remain prevalent and the economic growth has been uneven and volatility is high.
The Country Economic Memorandum is a strategic World Bank product that analyzes key aspects of a country's economic development with the main aim of providing an integrated and long-term perspective of the country's development priorities.
