When was the last total solar eclipse in China?

The last total solar eclipse in China was on July 22nd, 2009, also known as the "Yangtze River Total Solar Eclipse".

The total lunar eclipse belt passes through southeast Xizang Autonomous Region, northwest Yunnan Province, south-central Sichuan Province, most of Chongqing, south-central Hubei Province, northern Hunan Province, southeast corner of Henan Province, southern Anhui Province, northernmost Jiangxi Province, southern Jiangsu Province, northern Zhejiang Province and most of Shanghai except the northwest end of Chongming Island. Chengdu-Chongqing, Wuhan City Circle, Yangtze River Delta and other densely populated urban agglomerations are all in the total solar eclipse zone.

Although it was impossible to observe the underground heavy rain in Shanghai and Nanjing in the Yangtze River Delta on the day of the solar eclipse, citizens could only feel the darkness when grabbing food; Due to the cloudy day in Chengdu, Sichuan, the observation was also affected to some extent. Due to the unstable weather on the plateau, there was no total solar eclipse in Cuona County, Tibet and other places. Anhui, Hubei, Chongqing and other areas have become better observation points because of the thin cumulus clouds.
