[00:06.00]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.
