BeiJing 北京 in motion …

South east China, near ShenZhen and Hong Kong ...

WARNING - graphic. The real, deeply ugly face of the hysterical, baying mob of rioters behind their masks. Just one example ...

Bamboo (a grass) is fast-growing and sustainable, light and strong ...

The Great Wall of China is an immensely long man-made wall that was built to keep out invaders. The Great Wall spans nine provinces and its total length is 6,700 km (3,948 miles). The Great Wall extends from ShanHaiGuan (the 'Old Dragon Head'), a seaport along the coast of BoHai, in the east (near BeiDaiHe resort) to JiaYuGuan Pass in GanSu Province in the west.

A fascinating, hour plus documentary by CCTV's Travelogue (from the English language CCTV9 channel). Dali is a four and a half hours drive from KunMing, the provincial capital of YunNan in south China, or forty minutes by air. By rail it is also connected to nearby LiJiang. We haven't posted a Travelogue for a couple of years, but are very happy to say that it is back to its best - intelligent presenter and beautiful cinematography.

A beautiful film by kinabaloo.com.

Based around a large lake with a perimeter of 15 kilometers. In JiangSu province.

Still searching for the Bolero, but these two are still awesome. Five and a half years ago already. Magic moments ...
