China's Splendors

China's Splendors

Editorial Reviews Book Description Ever since Marco Polo first returned from the Far East with exotic treasures and wondrous stories, China has been a land of great fascination to the Western world. One of the world's oldest civilizations developed there on some of the most strikingly beautiful land in the world. From the verdant mountains and clear waters of the Lijiang River valley, to the majestic Great Wall, to the sculptured gardens of West Lake in Hangzhou, China's Splendors displays a range of visual treasures. China's depth and variety are explored in full-color photos and historical text, including the giant Buddha sculpture at Leshan (at 71 feet in height, the world's largest stone sculpture) and the giant pandas being studied and protected in the Wolong Nature Reserve.
