Abstract
This report is a general introduction on Chinese large telescope projects. It includes the ongoing project Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST),and three projects which have reviewed by Chinese government recently: Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical (radio) Telescope (FAST); Space Solar Telescope (SST); Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT). These three projects have finished their feasibility studies and development of key technologies. They are very likely to be approved by the Chinese government in 2006. Besides these large telescope projects, the site survey in Western China for large telescopes in optical, infrared, sub-millimeter and millimeter astronomy, the preliminary study on Chinese future giant optical/infrared telescopes, and a future extremely large wide field telescope are also briefly introduced.
