China Revealed - A portrait of the rising dragon.
From the internationally celebrated photographer and writer Basil Pao, 2007.
China, a vast nation of 1.3 billion people, was until relatively recently a closed book to most in the West, but with the advent of the Olympic Games in Beijing, both trade and tourism have flourished and it is attracting more and more visitors. Partly with that in mind, the Hong Kong-based photographer and writer Basil Pao determined to travel through every province of China, capturing history and landscape, people and places, to give a comprehensive snapshot of China today
Poa portrays a country whose four thousand years of cultural history are being rediscovered even as they are being destroyed. Also a China where new urban wealth and rural poverty coexist uneasily, as the new regime continues to tackle the legacy of corruption and anarchy of the cultural revolution and the repression in its aftermath. Mr. Pao's journey is the most important and ambitious photographic portrait of China to date.
A highly recommended large format book running to 384 pages brimming with thousands of incredible photographs and words of insight. It also provides essential traveller information including geographic, climate, provincial, industrial and commercial details of each region visited.
