The groundbreaking project supporting the "2.5-meter High-resolution Wide-field Solar Telescope" (WeHoST) has commenced on Wuming Mountain, situated in Daocheng County, Sichuan Province. Construction and assembly of this state-of-the-art facility are anticipated to conclude by the end of 2026. Endorsed by the Ministry of Education and approved by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, this ambitious initiative aims to construct the world's largest axisymmetric solar telescope. Boasting a 2.5-meter primary mirror, this telescope will offer unparalleled high-resolution and wide-field observation capabilities, enabling comprehensive coverage of the entire solar active region. Upon its completion, WeHoST will be pivotal in advancing research on solar eruptive events and predicting disastrous space weather, thereby strengthening China's position in global technological competitiveness.
