The terra-cotta soldiers of Xi'an. Sichuan, China's beautiful 'heavenly kingdom.' The 50,000 statues of the Yungang Buddhist Caves. Terraced rice paddies as far as the eye can see, the four wonders of the Hebei province, walking the Great Wall, seas of bicycles on Beijing streets, translucent-skinned dumplings, the Summer Palace, hiking the Huangshan Range. A photograph-rich tour of twelve thrilling regions - Guangxi to Inner Mongolia, Yunnan to Jiangsu - the 365 Days In China Calendar captures the diversity and vibrancy of this ancient, storied, and multifaceted land. Each month features text by award-winning writer Lisa See, whose books include On Gold Mountain: The One-Hundred-Year Odyssey of My Chinese-American Family and Snow Flower and the Secret Fan: A Novel, which was #1 on the Book Sense bestseller list and on the Los Angeles Times bestseller list. It's China up close.
