Lisa See (Author), Keren Su (Photographer)

Book Description

Series: Picture-A-Day Wall Calendars | Publication Date: June 30, 2007

For tourism and business travel, interest in China has never been greater. And the 2008 Beijing Olympics promise to put China in the spotlight like never before. The intricate stepped rice terraces of Yunnan. Fragrant plum blossoms over West Lake. Glamorous Shanghai, "the Paris of the East." The "water towns" of Zhejiang, the Three Gorges, cormorant fishing in Guangxi, morning tai chi, red chiles drying in the sun, Ten Thousand Buddha Hall, and the aptly named Flaming Mountains of Junger Basin. 365 Days in China is an evocative tribute to China's natural wonders, diverse people, and rich and long-reaching history.

I purchased this calendar last year and was pleased with the photos, and this years calendar is just as good if not better. Each month features a province in China and then each day has a smaller photo which would also be perfect for photos for your child's lifebook because the photos of temples, objects, countrysides and people. The provinces featured in this year's calendar are: Guangxi, Shaanxi, Hebei, Shanghai, Shanghai, Sichuan, Shandong & Shanxi, Zhejiang, Beijing which is for the month of August to celebate the 29th Olympic Games and it's slogan - One World One Dream. There is only 1 photo in this month that is of the Millennium Monument and is a small photo. Guizhiu, Anhui, Xinjiang,Yunnan finish out the year.

Lisa See write information on each province and there is also a small black outline of China that shows you where this province is located in China. Keren Su who is the photographer for all of the photos did a fantastic job! I am planning on using the photos of the calendar for photos for my daughter's lifebook. And if your child is from one of the provinces mentioned about you have a nice write up on that province.

For anyone who has been in China or for anyone who wants to go, this calendar is a marvelous display of nature and daily life in China. Lisa See's texts are as lovely as the photographs by Keren Su.

This is the second year I've bought this calendar. Likely, I will buy it every year. It's gorgeous with great tid-bits about China. As a mother with 2 children from China, it is a nice addition to the play area.
