It is founded by French Holy Joe in 1900.The observatory is equiped by a birefringent telescope which has a diameter of 40cm.100 years ago.SHESHAN is the largest observatory in Far-east.
Nowadays,because of its near urban areas location,SHESHAN is more used in education than in science observation.
