This 1872 building, despite the mottled walls, revealed a strong quaint European atmosphere, here is the "first meteorological station in the Far East" called Shanghai Xujiahui Observatory. As a witness of China's modern meteorological development history, Xujiahui Observatory has a profound significance and value for more than 100 years of valuable materials and buildings that have continued from it. Visiting in such a bungalow, the exhibits are fainted with a sense of antiques, not to mention those mottled old objects.

The museum is opened in a small three-story brick and wooden building, which is open to tourists mainly to visit the space from the first floor to the second floor, showing the history of the events and development that have been bearing in mind for 140 years of Xujiahui Observation Deck.

    The Xujiahui Observatory, once known as the "first meteorological station in the Far East", has now become the Shanghai Meteorological Museum in the Xujiahuiyuan Scenic Area. The former site of the Xujiahui Observatory was first built in 1873 by the Catholic Jesuit Church and is the first observation platform on the coast of China. Since the launch of meteorological observation on December 1, 1872, meteorological observation in Shanghai has been uninterrupted for more than 100 years. As one of the first institutions in the world to start to work on meteorological work, the continuous observation of Xujiahui Observatory provides valuable meteorological information for China and the global meteorological forecast and climate change research. The existing observation deck was completed in 1900. It is three floors high and belongs to the Roman style. It has a water brick wall, red brick window frame, round arched window, and a treasure-bottle railing. The center is built with a brick and wooden structure, with a height of 40 meters and a Beckley wind direction wind speedometer. Xu Jiahui Observatory was determined by the International Astronomical Association as a standard timepiece. In 1926 and 1933, he participated in the international longitude joint measurement mission twice, becoming the benchmark point of gravity acceleration, and is one of the three benchmark points in the world. In that year, the Bund signal tower and Xujiahui Observatory contacted by telephone to determine the wind balloons that were required to be hung every day, and to make meteorological forecasts for ships passing by the Huangpu River. Wind balls of different shapes represent different meteorological conditions. If a typhoon strikes, the signal tower will hang a flag or wind ball that indicates the typhoon strength, direction of movement, longitude and latitude.

    Unexpectedly, not only the tour is free, but also there is a guide accompanying the whole process. The explanation is very detailed and there will be interactive questions. It adds a lot of fun and lets the visitors get a lot of knowledge. Moreover, the young interpreter sister is also quite high.

    🐢 The Meteorological Museum is close to Xujiahui Catholic Church, a small three-story brick and wooden building, which looked like this one hundred years ago. ·🐢 December 1, 1872, cloudy, maximum temperature 16.9℃, minimum temperature 4.8℃. This simple observation record opens the first page of the history of Xujiahui Observatory in a hundred years. For more than 140 years, the Meteorological Museum has never stopped monitoring Shanghai's meteorological conditions, and the World Meteorological Organization has given the recognition of the Century Climate Station to recognize its contribution to global meteorological research. ·🐢 Unlike many renovated buildings, the architecture of the Meteorological Museum is well preserved, and the old walls can be seen in the exhibition hall. The door fins of Figure 2 have not been replaced. Many precision meteorological observation instruments make people sigh: the ultimate beauty is comparable to artwork. ·🐢 The "100-year meteorological piano" on the second floor of the exhibition hall, "Xu Jiahui "Annual Average Temperature Table", records Shanghai's "Average Temperature in the City" rising year by year since the 1990s, and the global warming trend is unobstructed. Low materialistic, minimalist, environmental protection is the turtle has been practicing, turtles always believe that the ability to protect the environment is the greatest contribution that every small person can make! ·🐢 80 places a day, two batches at 10 am and 14 pm, the degree of difficulty of the meteorological museum is no less than the Peace Hotel, Symphony Museum, and the Building Model Museum. It belongs to the type that is missed if you don’t pay attention. Here the turtles share their experience: 11 o’clock every Monday, Small 🍊 order will open a week of appointment places, collect small 🍊 order, set a ⏰~~ · 🐢 open the first meteorological museum, I wish the new year the wind and rain, every baby smooth. ·🔔 Meteorological Museum 🧭 No. 166, Yuxi Road, Xuhui District, close to Xujiahui Catholic Church ⏰ is long-term valid. The appointment time is subject to 💰 free. The Shanghai Meteorological Museum is small 🍊 pre-order appointment, and the quota is released at 11:00 every Monday. 👩 There are explanations 🎫 and Peace Hotel, Building Model Museum, and Symphony Museum have become the most difficult museums Top4❗️ You can see it with Xujiahuiyuan's attractions, Xujiahui Catholic Church - Xujiahui Collection Book Building - Baidai Xiaohonglou - Tushanwan Museum - Xu Guangqi Memorial Hall - Jiaotong University History Museum-Qian Xuesen Library-Notre Dame Former Site-Xuhui Public School Former Site. #Everything can talk about art [topic]#
