The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) is being built by the Chinese and will be the largest single dish radio telescope in the world. FAST, with much increase in sensitivity, will give astronomers good opportunities to answer many fundamental questions in astronomy. Here we give a brief introduction of FAST and its enormous potential for studying Galactic and extragalactic masers.
