Synopsis:
It's a tour that spans thousands of years and earth's most durable civilization. Peer into China's Forbidden City; visit one of the world's oldest cities and its amazing ruins; walk atop the ancient 1,500-mile-long wall that still divides an entire nation; float down the 1,500-year-old canal that's a stellar feat of ancient engineering; discover the Temple of Hell (if you dare); stroll the Square where a celebrated standoff brought China once more to the brink of revolution.

How can one be so politically correct as the last reviewer and fail to see the tremendous progress that China is making? It's absurd to think that a country of more than one billion can change overnight. It's also very narrow minded to look at ancient history and only think about the brutality-- where in the world was ancient history not brutal? Acknowledge this yes, but to become fixated on it to the exclusion of all else is destructive and defeatist.

I think it's a fair guess that this travelogue was commissioned by the communist government of China.When talking about the history of the Great Wall, how can one not mention the thousands upon thousands of slaves who died while building it?Not speak of the fact that most of their bodies are still entombed within the edifice itself?When speaking of China's present day peoples, how can the makers of this film ignore the human rights' suffering going on today?
