If you really want to see, go to the Yangtze River Basin area, the following specific location and time, also
There are experts recommend not to use the naked eye to watch, will hurt the eyes.
As long as the weather is clear, the total solar eclipse on July 22, 2009, will occur at about 9 a.m. The total solar eclipse band will sweep across the following major cities from west to east. People living in these areas will have a chance to see a once-in-a-century ultra-long total solar eclipse, with totality lasting up to 4-5 minutes, which is a long dark night for a total solar eclipse. Kangding, Ya'an, Leshan, Chengdu, Zigong, Neijiang, Suining, Nanchong, Chongqing, Dazhou, Qianjiang, Yichang, Jingmen, Jingzhou, Jiangling, Shashi, Kaoshen, Xianning, Wuhan, Huanggang, Ezhou, Huangshi, Lu'an, Hefei, Anqing, Chizhou, Chaohu, Wuhu, Tongling, Huangshan, Xuanshou, Ma'anshan, Huzhou, Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Shaoxing, Shanghai, Ningbo, Zhoushan. This is almost the entire Yangtze River Basin that will see the total solar eclipse, which will be seen by about 400 million people. After carefully checking the areas above, I found that Huangshan, a place I've always wanted to visit, is near the center of this total solar eclipse, great, two birds with one stone. Of course, the Hangzhou Bay Bridge in Hangzhou, where the center of the total solar eclipse just passes through, is also a very good choice to be able to see the total solar eclipse on the sea on this nearly 50-kilometer-long cross-sea bridge. The conditions for a total solar eclipse are that the three celestial bodies, the Sun, the Moon and the Earth, should be just impartial or very close to each other in a straight line. This opportunity can only be seen once in an average of three to four hundred years for the same observing site, and the longest time that the sun will be completely blocked out is no more than 7 minutes and 41 seconds. When observing a total solar eclipse, be sure to use specialized or homemade equipment, and direct observation of the sun with the naked eye is strictly prohibited to avoid damage to the eyes.

Observing a total solar eclipse can be dangerous if you don't know how to do it because the sun radiates intense visible, infrared and ultraviolet light. UV light not only burns the skin, it also causes rapid damage to the retina of the eye. Human eyes can be permanently damaged or even blinded by looking directly at the sun for just a few seconds. If you look at the sun through a telescope without proper light-reducing equipment, the consequences are even worse.
Partial solar eclipses and annular solar eclipses cannot be viewed without special safety precautions. During the partial eclipse phase of a total solar eclipse, even if the surface of the Sun is 99% covered by the Moon, the remaining photosphere formed by the crescent Moon can cause eye damage. Do not attempt to view the Sun with the naked eye during any partial solar eclipse, annular phase, or partial phase of a total solar eclipse.
