Fractal and Chaos Theory is a subject on entering a kind of special disordered state in the process of system evolution. In this paper, based on the random and indefinite of regional natural disaster, the space time fractal characteristic of the flood hazard in Xinjiang Line of New Eurasian Continental Bridge is studied using the Fractal and Chaos Theory. The analysis of 38-year flood hazard data shows that the flood hazard in Xinjiang Line have self-similarity not only in the time alignment (volume fractal dimension Df varied from 0.0497 to 0.0678), but in the space alignment (informative fractal dimension D1 varied from 0.0531 to 0.0797). Moreover, except for showing the grades of flood hazard as time alignment by the relationship that volume fractal dimension Df is in inverse proportion to the disaster grades, space alignment can reveal the irregularity of flood hazard distribution.The result from this is useful for us to recognize the inner regularity and dynamic characteristic of the flood hazard.
