We report an optical spectrum (range 340-900 nm) of SN 2016aqw that was obtained on UT Mar.03.86 2016 with the 2.4-m telescope (+YFOSC) at LiJiang Gaomeigu Station of Yunnan Astronomical Observatories (YNAO). The spectrum is characterized by the Ha peak that is superimposed on a very blue continuum, consistent with that of a young type II supernova.
