Several months of preparation, ordering special coated glass filters just for this purpose. Luckily, the sky started to clear once we arrived on scene. It seemed our small group were the only people who chose Xixi Wetlands Park as the viewing site while everyone else crowded into West Lake. The raised bridge gave us an unobstructed view of the sky, and although there ended up a thin layer of clouds, we were able to capture the solar eclipse almost perfectly for virgin eclipse chasers.

5 photos uploaded so far. I'll upload more as I have more time to go through them in the upcoming week. Thank you for your patience.
