From the Publisher
This spectacular photo-journey highlights China's dramatic landscape, including such incredible structures as the Great Wall, natural treasures like the Khunjarab Pass, and even the world's largest Buddha sculpture, carved into a mountain at the confluence of three rivers. Among his striking images of China's people are children contorting and balancing themselves into an acrobatic pyramid; a uniformed guard patrolling terracotta warriors unearthed from Emperor Qin's massive grave; and a panda-keeper embracing a cub at a breeding center that allows visitors to observe pandas close-up.
The text, based on Pao's firsthand observations, is both personal and informative, an invaluable travel guide revealing China in the twenty-first century.

Store description
BookLovers of Bath is based in the rural idyll of Peasedown St. John in Somerset (God's Own Country) in the south west of England and actually very nearly in Bath. After 20 years of being “internet only” I have now opened a shop, Fact or Fable, in the premises of our now-closed Post Office. With over 10,000 books in my, recently shrunken, storage unit and another 5,000 or so in the shop I run an old-fashioned book business with every book listed, graded, picked, packed and posted by my own fair hand… abetted by my Jack Russells who are really, not, helpful.…
