 Next total eclipse of the sun / ChinaI will talk about what kind of tour I can participate in when from now on where. 
At first look at a total eclipse of the sun zone world map in the top of a site or a column of a future total eclipse of the sun. In a link of that place, the obi which a total eclipse of the sun passes is written as a world map. Only a total eclipse of the sun to pass by over almost Hiroshi stands out. Because it is not considered that I do not board Cruise ship on the sea, what land observe is quick.The next total eclipse of the sun is not seen unless I wait until August 1, 2008. A plan of a tour company advances after winter, next year and thinks that it is announced by the spring after next. 
It is a place watched a total eclipse of the sun in the year after next, but it is considered that I click this only in a border zone of Canada Russia / China and Mongolia. It is Russian Novosibirsk that access is the easiest in this. I grow up now in a big city more than a population of 1,500,000, and there are both Trans-Siberian Railroad and an airport. By the way, it is 2 minutes 18 seconds in all existing duration. But the probability that it is always fine here is hard to be said to be high, and probability to clear so as to go if I go to the southern part rises. Probability to clear because there is Gobi Desert depends, and a border of China in particular and Mongolia will rise by going.
However, there are not a railroad and an airport near in the Gobi Desert. The Chinese best point (all existing duration 2 minutes 00 seconds) is the area that went from Hami in the east end of Turpan basin to the 150km northeast. There is a basin, but a flat plain opens. But meters above the sea level 1,000m must exceed a certain Tian Shan, too.
All existing duration shortens more in a side in China, but there is the place that it is easy to comparatively go. There is a terminal of a route lengthening in due north from Xi'an (Sheean). In the town where there is called Tongchuan, it is 1 minute 33 seconds.  There is all existing duration. Unfortunately Xi'an with an airport becomes super last-minute partial solar eclipse of 99% for appetite. It will be good to assume here a foothold. But only around 5 degrees have sun altitude, and it may be obstructed by a cloud of the horizon. If it goes best, it will be for the sun which was lacking in the horizon to set. I refer to a right photograph→In addition, as for the person used to traveling, there is a person going with an individual. By the way, a visa is necessary in Russia. A visa is unnecessary in China, but the survival effective days of a passport seem to be necessary at the time of the entrance more than four months. A next total eclipse of the sun zone and a degree of cloudiness forecast map When an image clicks it, it is spread. An upper figure understands the place where it seems to be fine by conventional statistics stochastically to the last. I search a weather forecast on that day, and let's go to the place where it is fine surely. There is Barkol in the center of a figure in a basin of Tian Shan, and meters above the sea level exceeds 1,000m. Furthermore, there is a big basin when I go to the east, and total eclipse of the sun centerline passes there. Therefore it is just at I can observe a total eclipse of the sun of two minutes. Local GPS is long. 93 degrees E 30 minutes for lat. 44 degrees N 30 minutes. 
In this area,Eurasia tourist bureau has already sold a tour. I "trace Tian Shan from ... Yiwu reaching paths of Amayama north, and it is ... and a trip to say to Ine" in eight days in seven days. Will it be the thing which a total eclipse of the sun tour is not given to in the same course? Because I become the tour that is easy to participate in one of an office worker if I can shorten a schedule, I am examining whether I negotiate in a few days. I think that perhaps the tour price becomes around 300,000. As for the coming and going to observation place, it will be it for a plan to say the bus use by JAL use from Narita Airport to Urumchi.
There is a hotel in Barkol which is near to observation place and thinks that I can go to observation place by movement on that day. By the way, local sun altitude is 20 degrees by a moment of a total eclipse of the sun. This is a total eclipse of the sun and about the same altitude seen in Siberia on March 9, 1997.Movement of an umbra gimlet (a shadow of a moon)may be seen. In addition, in Urumchi, there is difference in time of -1 time from Japan.

A Barkol Total Solar Eclipse tour plan
(1) July 30(Wednesday)(Aeroplane)Narita Airport→Transit→Urumchi Urumchi(Late-night arrival) (2) July 31(Thursday) Urumchi→Jimsar→Barkol Barkol(I observe starlit sky if I arrive at an inn) (3)August 1(Friday)I depart after lunch(Coming and going 400km) Barkol→observation place((solar eclipse observation))→Barkol Barkol(I observe starlit sky if I arrive at an inn) (4) August 2(Saturday) Barkol→Barkol lake→Urumchi Urumchi(Barkol→Urumchi 500km) (5) August 3(Sunday)(Aeroplane) Urumchi→Narita Airport I try to hear whether I can stay at Santanghu instead of Barkol in wanting to stay as much as possible in the vicinity of observation place on observation day. I advance straight from Santanghu to the Mongolia area, and there is total eclipse of the sun centerline on about 50km this side of a border. Therefore I observe it. I do preparations such as weather before departure of eyes in an Internet cafe of Urumchi on (2) day. If a participant gathers in breakfast, I do it with departure. By the way, as for plan 7 of Y company, a tour is sold from 328,000 yen by contents of 8th in August in a day. I am asking Y company for a Barkol Total Eclipse tour plan now. If participants more than 15 people gather, the travel expenses which are under 300,000 yen are possible. If there are tour participants more than 30 people, the travel expenses may become cheaper. Besides it, please write a new idea and opinion on a solar eclipse bulletin board. 
Referentially I click it, and look because I carried below a detailed map of the northwest district in China. 
By the way,Eclipse cityseems to plan near the Barkol and Novosibirsk of west Siberia as observation place, too. As for the fine weather rate in DATA, Barkol will be declared victor.
