China Solar Eclipse 22 July 2009 -

Next Solar Eclipse in China

Only one tour still has space as all other tours have sold out!

Partial eclipses of the sun pale in comparison to the overwhelming spectacle of a total solar eclipse! On Wednesday, 22 July 2009, a total eclipse of the sun will be visible from within a narrow corridor, which traverses a third of the Earth.

The eclipse will start off the West coast of India and travel north east passing over Varanasi and Darjeeling lasting for a duration of 4 minutes 02 seconds, then onward through Bhutan and Bangladesh till it reaches China. China will experience the very best visual of the impressive 2009 eclipse. Passing over Chongqing, the great Yantze with its three Gorges and the coastline of Shanghai viewers have the advantage of being positioned directly beneath the centre line and ultimately, will experience the maximum totality of the black out. Add the great 2009 total solar eclipse to your next season's holiday aboad. on the go offer the opportunity to witness the display in holy Varanasi, tea tree terraced Darjeeling, Bhutan, aboard a Yantze River cruiser crossing the Three Gorges and from the coast of the East China Sea, just south of Shanghai.
