大鹏半岛的西涌正式成为中国第一个国际暗夜社区，请看本报昨日的报道：

Wang Shaoqing, head of the Xichong Community at the southeast end of Dapeng New Area, has gotten one step closer to his dream as he received a plaque from Ruskin Hartley, CEO and executive director of the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA), which recognized Xichong as the first International Dark Sky Community in China, at a ceremony at the Shenzhen Astronomical Observatory on Monday.

报道中的International Dark Sky Community就是“国际暗夜社区”。国际暗夜社区是国际暗夜协会针对暗夜环境保护设定一个暗夜区域称号，在保证安全、生活和生产前提下，对区域的照明进行科学改造升级，尽可能减少过剩照明，在城市发展过程中融入星空自然理念，保护夜晚不受光污染影响。
