July 22nd 2009 will be the most exciting date for solar eclipse observation. On this date, the world will witness the longest total solar eclipse in over a century, which will not be seen again for another 100 years.

China has a vast land territory and owns the excellent places for the solar eclipse observation on July 22nd 2009. After a careful field studies and consultation with the authority, China Connection Tours (CCT) has decided a perfect private viewing site: Jinshanwei, exclusive to CCT's clients - a little town sandwiched between Shanghai and Hanghzou. This location is just located in the path of totality and ensures the total eclipse can be viewed in a peaceful environment, few tall buildings, air pollution and other tourists. You will observe the eclipse in comfort with refreshments and drinks prepared by CCT on this private site.

At China Connection Tours, we have combined this special event with a wonderful China Highlight Tour and set a departure to celebrate this momentous event with the true eclipse enthusiasts.
