Beautiful ChengDu 成都 …

DéTiān PùBù, 'Virtuous Heaven Waterfall', is Asia's largest and easily viewed by walkways and boat. The waterfalls lie in the south of GuangXi province on the border with Vietnam. There are buses from NanNing, the provincial capital.

Provincial capital of GuangDong. GuangZhou, on the Pearl River about 120 kilometers (75 miles) north-northwest of Hong Kong, has a long history and was a major starting port for the Silk Road of the Sea. The city features avant-garde architecture such as the GuangZhou Opera House (also known as the Double Pebble), the carved, box-shaped GuangDong Museum, and the iconic, and unusually feminine, Canton TV Tower skyscraper, that resembles a slim hourglass.

A composition of aerial and time-lapse scenes ...

Filmed in August 2010. Includes the famous 'plank walk' at the end; this is perched precariously on a cliff face that is well over 1000m above the valley below, in a sheer drop. The plank walk is on the east peak, which is about a 15km walk / climb from the north peak. HuaShan ('Flower Mountain', or 'Splendid Mountain') lies in southern ShaanXi province, about 120km east of Xi'An; it is one of the five sacred Taoist mountains, with four main peaks.

The most thrilling and picturesque part of the Great Wall of China that's not far from BeiJing (120 kilometers).
