Customer Reviews

HD cinematography is breathtaking.
As this unique experience that covers many of the diverse cultures within China unfolds, you are held in astonishment of the beauty and detail that HD brings to life of the colorful Chinese culture. This production took over 18 months to film and it resulted in an extremely refined, non-biased, educational view into China.

Very interesting.
Where to start. When I originally seen this I assumed it was an ordinary documentary covering history and culture. However, this wonderful series took a step in a different direction by getting more into the lives of current residents, and how current life ties into the history of the country. There are many comparisons of the original culture to currrent culture, including the parts of the country that are conforming, and the parts that choose to keep everything in its purest essence. Overall, you will enjoy learning of parts unknown in this very nicely captured and directed contemporary documentary.

Also to note - the quality of the video is very nice - I would give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Wonderful DVD!
I bought this blu-ray of Discovery Atlas on China and thoroughly enjoyed the content! Wonderful brief history of China, and a great tour of China today in pictures, videos, music, and narrative!
