A photographic journey through 50 of China's most beautiful villages and towns, many little known in the U.S., except from genre paintings or perhaps as backdrops for historical cinematic epics, the geography of China is diverse and often dramatic, offering unique scenery as beautiful as anything on earth. This album explores some of China's most picturesque villages and unspoiled landscapes, including a Hunan village set among peach orchards, reputed to be a famous bard's fairy-tale retreat; Lake Mampang Yumco, the most venerated of Tibet's lakes and considered the legendary source of India's four great rivers; rock pinnacles at Wulingyuan, rising from the mist and crowned with pines; and the ancient ruins of the Stone City on the Silk Road.
