The stunning six-part documentary series, co-produced by the BBC and China Central Television, ranges from the rice paddies and rare primates of South China to spactacular Yunnan, the Tibetan plateau, Uygur desert, Qinling Mountain home of the giant panda and the rivers, estuaries and coral reefs of China's diverse coast. With splendour, scale and romance, Journey across China from the glittering peaks of the Himalayas to the barren steppe, the sub-Arctic to the tropical islands, through deserts both searingly hot and mind-numbingly cold and see, in pioneering images, a dazzling array of mysterious, beautiful, wild and rare creatures. This 2-disc DVD set is a six-part BBC documentary, as shown on the BBC in May 2008.  (CHN529, $29.98)
