This visual travelog by Hong Kong-based photographer Pao is an overview of Asia's giant, its geographic regions, and its people. Pao's solo effort is his personal record of a yearlong, 15,000-mile journey through much of China. The 381 images he presents reveal this vast country's variety: its landscapes, its dense urban tableaux, and all its human diversity. Each section is organized by region-e.g., "The Middle Kingdom," "The Silk Road," "The Tibetan Plateau"--And is prefaced by brief almanac entries about the province depicted. Famous sites featured include the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and the Terracotta Army near Emperor Qin's mausoleum. --From publisher's description.
