The Yangtze River, one of the most famous
waterways in the world. Travel from the western plains through
the absolutely massive Three-Gorges Dam and up through the
beautiful and haunting Three-Gorges. Culture abounds here
from gongs along the river to historic hanging coffins along
a tributary.

Xian - the locale of the Terra-Cotta Warriors.
Acres of clay warriors, some restored and others still in
the state they were found in after being destroyed by marauders.
A rare sight to behold even tops this - a glimpse into the
life of the man who found the warriors - he cannot even
afford to visit the museum as he received no financial reward
so he now signs books in the museum shop.

See local artists work on their wares, such as cloisonne, and smile

pandas in their home country.

designed by I. M. Pei to beaches to Kowloon's own medicine shop
selling Snake Penis Capsules. |

The DVD that will be used for this are DVD-R's. This
is a cool new recordable DVD technology that is playable on most DVD
players and DVD-ROM drives in computers, but as it is a new technology,
it doesn't play 100% everywhere. If you order the DVD, there is a small
chance it won't work on your gear. Let me know at that point and we
will work something out with a VHS tape. Or, go to the local stereo
store with this China DVD and buy a new DVD player that plays the DVD,
DVD players are cheap now! Also, you can check the compatibility
list to see if your player is listed. Ask me if you have questions.
