ShangHai 上海 Special 3 : Amazing aerial drone and time-lapse films

Illustrated by works from China at the Asian Art Museum of San Frascisco, one of the largest collections of Chinese art outside China.

ShangHai, BeiJing and Hong Kong ...

A great film of the Great Wall north of Beijing, including 'wild wall', accompanied by great music (踏古 (Ta Gu) by Lin Hai, 'Walking into Ancientry', with Chinese lute (pipa)). We [mum, dad - videographer - and son and daughter, from Singapore] hiked 3 sections of the Great Wall in winter, without any guides after studying blogs and posts by fellow hikers.

Most associated with the Mid-Autumn Festival.

A beautiful 'garden within a garden'. The first film BeijingBuzzz ever made; a 'one shot' movie. Filmed at the end of September 2010.

Special memories ...

A wonderful performance just 2 kilometers along the Li River from YangShuo. The show incorporates local traditions, and around 600 performers combine with the beautiful setting to poetically elucidate the harmony of people and nature.

A wide variety of beautiful music from many locations plus informational films on the Chinese New Year. Don't miss it ...

Bonus films - how to get to JinShanLing Great Wall, one of the most beautiful sections near BeiJing (well, about 3 hours away) by bus (cheaper than a coach tour) ... If you have 3 or 4 days spare, also check out ChengDe Imperial Summer Resort, a bit further in the same direction from BeiJing.
