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.

This review is from: 365 Days in China Calendar 2007 (Calendar)
I first heard about this calendar on one of my many yahoo groups, someone had posted that this calendar had wonderful photos and I couldn't agree more! This calendar features 1 province each month and has a small black outline of China and shows where the province is in China. There is 1 large photo and then each day has it's own small photo. The photos where captured by Dennis Cox and each month has a write up of that province by Lisa See who does a wonderful job. The provinces featured are: Zhejiang, Anhui, Hebei & Shangdong,Guangxi, Shanghai, Yunnan, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Inner Mongolia, Beijing, Shaanxi & Shanxi and Xinjiang.
It is my hope that in the following years the calendar has each of the provinces in China. If you use a felt tip marker for marking things on the calendar you should be able to cut out the photos and use them for your child's lifebook or to make an ABC China book. There are many beautiful photos it maybe hard to choose which photos to use.
