This illustrated book explores some of the most remote regions of China and brings to life a world far removed from the great metropolises, a world nearly forgotten, where the people continue to live their traditional lifestyles largely undisturbed. Alessandra Meniconzi s respectful approach has allowed her to gain access to aspects of life that remained largely closed to outsiders until a few
decades ago. Insightful and vivid texts written by travel journalist Bertram Job
enhance this comprehensive portrayal of traditional China, a world rapidly being engulfed by encroaching modernity.

Features:
* Over 300 high quality photographs.
* Vivid text accompanies the photos to make this volume complete.
