We  observed  GRB 171120A (Tohuvavohu et al., GCN 22133)   with
GWAC-F60A 60cm optical telescope at 19:06:58 UT,  Nov. 20th 2017, 
about 5.75  hours after the burst. 

No any new source  was  not detected in the XRT error circle 
(Evens et al., GCN 22135) in our 15*300 sec stacked R-band  image  
down to the 3 sigma  limit  of  about 19.5 mag at the mid time  of 6.25 hours 
after the burst. The brightness was calibrated by  USNO B1.0 R2 catalogues.

GWAC-F60A is operated by Guangxi university and NAOC, CAS, 
at Xinglong observatory, China.
