A Bridge to Six Minutes of DarknessChina and the 2009 Total Eclipse of the Sun July 13-23, 2009 (13 days) On your journey through China, enjoy watching a total eclipse of the sun — one of the longest eclipses of our lifetime — almost six minutes of darkness. Start in Beijing and visit Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Enjoy the famous Wanfujing shopping area, the Great Wall, and the Ming Tombs. At each stop, local experts and museum curators are your hosts. Fly to Xi’an to see the famous Terra Cotta Warriors and return to the incredible modern cities of Shanghai and Suzhou. On July 22, 2009, in Suzhou, see the total eclipse of the sun. As the sky darkens, people cheer, temperatures drop, pink flames leap from the sun, and silver streams stretch across the sky! Accommodations include the famous Regent Hotel in Beijing — one of the Top-100 Hotels in the World according to Travel and Leisure magazine — and other five-star hotels. For those interested in seeing a more personal side of China, visits to private homes can be arranged. All hotels and restaurants have been personally tested by host Doug Duncan and A Bridge to China tour operator President Robin Duberow. Doug Duncan’s trips are the most popular of their kind, featuring outstanding speakers and great itineraries. Plus, they are a great value! As this is a land trip, space is limited. Booking early is important.  A Bridge to China tour experts who specialize in Chinese culture will be joined by these extraordinary, gifted hosts:
