Features: Photography is a mirror with memory. In the 1930s and 1940s, Sun Mingjing, one of China's early film educators, participated in several scientific exploration activities. During these expeditions, Sun Mingjing took numerous photographs with his camera. Among them, the photos documenting the social life of the historic Kexue Province in western Sichuan have historically recorded the social life of a province that no longer exists. When the pages of history turn to today, people can not only learn about many little-known folk customs and natural landscapes through these decades-old photographs but also gain a deep sense of the of historical and natural changes. Travel is for experiencing differences. Frequent travel naturally gives rise to the urge to record and create. From the vast snowy wilderness of northeastern China to the desolate dunes of the northwest, from the clear blue seas of Hainan Island to the half-acre ponds of Wuyuan, from the delicate Huizhou-style architecture to the magnificent Potala Palace, from the layered Yuanyang terraced fields to the Miao village stilt houses in southeastern Guizhou, they showcase diverse natural and cultural landscapes. However, these wonderful differences are becoming increasingly similar. For whatever purpose, capturing aesthetically pleasing photographs is one of our goals, but in reality, we are also participating in the documentation of these rapidly changing landscapes. This book features 21 chapters, each focusing on a region that has recently become popular among photographers. The authors of each chapter, based on their firsthand field photography experience, have planned detailed itineraries for readers and set reasonable budgets, providing references for maximizing time and travel cost savings. Another feature of this book is its comprehensive and practical information section, which follows the consistent style of the "Tibetan Antelope Self-Guided Travel" series: providing readers with detailed information guides.
