Solar Eclipse
I just found out something cool. While I'm in china there will be a solar ecliupse there.
http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEmono/TSE2009/TSE2009.html has the flight path and I reckon that being in chengdu on 22nd July seems very feasible. :)
I really do need to get around to properly timetabling out my china bit of the trip.

mi_guida has made sure we have a good timetable for the hong kong onwards parts but strangely enough the btis where I'm on my own are badly to not at all planned. :)
Still, I'm doing shanghai-beijing-xian-chengdu-Jiuzhaigou-c
hengdu-yellow river. Maybe with a holy mountain in there somewhere too. So chengdu at day 17 of 26 sounds feasible. :)
I've always wanted to properly see the totality of a full solar eclipse. It'd be nicer if it was not as early in the morning but should still be awesome. :)
