Antarctica, covered in snow, is home to a group of people living in unique domed houses and eating peculiar "snow milk." How will they spend their time during the six-month-long endless night? In the primitive rainforest of central Africa, a rare tribe of dwarfs lives a life unchanged for millennia. Under the temptation and impact of modern civilization, what changes will their lives bring? The jungle city of Angkor, shrouded in vines and its origins lost to the river of time, is a witness to Cambodia's glorious history and tragedies. Additionally, this book will guide you through the charm of Mount Emei, a famous Buddhist mountain, and the rise and fall of Buddhism on the Chinese mainland, taking you on a leisurely holiday to the Mediterranean island of Gozo. Exploration, curiosity, leisure, and relaxation—natural wonders and cultural landscapes are all recorded here.
