| Observation Site Introduction |
We choose Shade village (29.6718N,101.4126E)as our observation site. It is very nearby to the red line zone—the center of the eclipse path. Moreover it is located on the plateau where is clear air, blue sky and abundant sunlight (more than 3000 hours sunshine time for a year averagely).This offer you the maximal probability to see the solar eclipsing clear. And it is also one of the best choice in this tour which show you the most beautiful road in China----the Sichuan-Tibet Highway south road. This is not only an eclipse tour, but also the tour to the most beautiful and mysterious place in China.
