A total solar eclipse is occurring in China on July 22, 2009. I have found a tour that will observe the total solar eclipse from Anji, Zhejiang, China.
Participants of this special two week tour will meet in Beijing, China on July 10, 2009. Tours in the majestic city include: Tian'anmen Square, the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Great Wall, Ming Tombs, Summer Palace and Yonghegong Lamasery.
After experiencing all Beijing has to offer, they fly to the ancient former capital city of Xi'an and enjoy the ancient Xi'an City Wall and Terracotta Warriors Museum. They then travel to Chongqing for three relaxing days of five-star cruising on the beautiful Yangtze River before heading to Shanghai.
In Shanghai they visit the Museum on People's Square with its fine collection of cultural relics, The Bund, the Yuyuan Garden, TV Tower of the Oriental Pearl and 88-story Jin Mao building.
Throughout the tour they will have time for provisioning for the total solar eclipse. Lectures by expert and amateur astronomers will aid in the preparations. On July 22, they set up in Anji near the Tianhuangping reservoir and observe the total solar eclipse. After celebrating with bottles of champagne, they continue the tour. Attractions include the Humble Administrator's Garden (Zhouzheng Yuan), Garden of the Master of the Net and a cruise on the ancient canal. The tour ends in Shanghai on July 24th.
The fare for the tour is $2898 -- if this is something you're interested in, let me know!
