Features: We have a dream to trek across the sky-high Mount Everest, cleanse our hearts by the Yarlung Tsangpo River, and awaken our souls atop the snow-capped peaks; we have a dream to glide a light boat along the tranquil freshwater river, getting lost in the interplay of fragrance and sunset; we have a dream to walk barefoot on the weathered cobblestone streets of Fenghuang Ancient Town, listening to the dreamlike songs from Border Town; we have a dream to stand before the mushroom-shaped houses of the Hani people, overlooking the layered terraced fields filled with the play of light and clouds, witnessing how years of accumulation have unintentionally created a wondrous landscape.
Dreams have no limits, and beauty has no limits. With a heart that yearns for beauty as its witness, you can contain infinite beauty within finite space. Rare landscapes and unique folk customs, lost ancient civilizations and precious cultural relics, mysterious enigmas of the Earth and its myriad wonders—all converge and collide here, composing a symphony of nature and humanity.
With vivid words, it outlines the grand scroll of Chinese landscapes, while colorful images narrate the geographical symbols of the East and West. Over 1,500 dazzling geographical landmarks, more than 4,000 breathtaking photographs, and a 2.6 million-word, 10-volume masterpiece of human geography weave a dreamlike journey through time and space.
