A First Aerial View of China
Last year, the first-ever aerial film of China astonished even the Chinese, showing as it did a land of incredible beauty, full of the unexpected.
From the falls of the Yellow River, the helicopter flew through mountain gorges to Dun Huang , an ancient city hidden in the Gobi Desert; along the silk route to Llafa, in Tibet; to Taihu, pearl of the south, and finally along the Great Wall of China, whose 2,000 miles can be seen from the moon.
