and the panda — is a land of mystery and amazement. The
world has been so enriched by its ancient astronomy,

Beijing to visit the mysterious Forbidden City,
historicTiananmen Square, and climb the
Great Wall. Our eclipse tour will also take us to Shanghai,

and commercial center, from where we will travel to our
centerline viewing location outside the city to stand in the
Moon’s shadow for almost 6 minutes, the longest duration of
totality viewable from land along the entire 2009 eclipse
track! Our menu of optional add-on tours
includes the opportunity to cruise the Yangtze River, visit
Xi'an to see the famed Terracotta Warriors and Guilin to
