I think the folks to the north of here are going to have something special to talk about!

Here in YiWu, the eclipse was about 98% totality, and it was fairly significant darkness.

Unfortunately, my phone's camera could not sharpen properly against the sun's brightness, even at 2% sun. I also tried filtering with the hotel's heavily tinted glass ... I think I needed to use a piece of welding glass in front of the lens, to be honest.

My eye could resolve it well, but the lens had no chance.

All of the lights on the streets and hotel rooves were lit ... it was actually quite eerie.

I'll try to grab some stills from the footage if I can.
