The last hidden world, |
[00:10.00] |
China. |
[00:14.00] |
For centuries, travellers to China have told tales of magical landscapes |
[00:21.00] |
and surprising creatures. |
[00:28.00] |
Chinese civilization is the world's oldest, |
[00:31.50] |
and today, it's largest, |
[00:35.00] |
with well over a billion people. |
[00:38.50] |
It's home to more than 50 distinct ethnic groups, |
[00:42.00] |
and a wide range of traditional lifestyles, |
[00:45.00] |
often in close partnership with nature. |
[00:54.00] |
We know that China faces immense, social and enviromental problems |
[01:01.00] |
But there is great beauty here, too. |
