Can the Perseid meteor shower be observed in Taizhou, Zhejiang?

Taizhou can see it. Taizhou is as far away from the city as possible. If you can see many stars at home, you don't have to stay away. Perseid meteor shower can be seen all over China (including Zhejiang Province) from August 20/KOOC-0/2 to August 20/KOOC-0/2. But the weather is good+the light damage is small.

On the night of August 12- 13, the Perseid meteor shower is expected to peak at 100 meteors per hour (ideally), which will actually be discounted to varying degrees.

Specific viewing time in Taizhou: from 23: 00 on August 12 to before dawn on August 13, midnight is the best. The waning moon coming out around 1-2 in Taizhou morning will affect the number of meteors, but it has little effect. You can also choose one of them to watch. Before 23 o'clock, there were few or no meteors because of the low radiation point. )

Where can I see it? As far away from Taizhou as possible. Go out on a sunny night in advance and choose an empty place with less light damage. The more stars you can see, the denser the better. But please pay attention to all kinds of security issues, especially girls, who must be accompanied. Or ask parents and old people where they can see many stars and meteor showers.

Meteor showers are seen with the naked eye, without binoculars, and nearsighted people should wear glasses. Perseus will be located in the northeast, but the possibility of meteors appearing in all parts of the sky is similar, the direction is not important, and the probability of meteors appearing in the zenith is greater. It is best to lie in an open place and watch.

If the weather forecast says that the weather is not good tonight, you can also try to watch it two nights before and after tonight, which is the same time (23:00- before dawn the next day), but less frequently. In addition, there was a Gemini meteor shower on the night of 13- 14 this year (ideally 140 meteors per hour), and the viewing conditions were better than the Perseid meteor shower.
