Location: China

The National Library of China holds an artifact that represents what must be the most ambitious attempt to control information in history.

Beijing incorporates all of the contradictions of Chinese society.

Huashan is a mountain located  about 120 kilometres east of Xi'an- China's old capital.  It's home to some very dicey walking tracks, a really spectacular set of cable cars, a tea house perched on a cliff face and a photo studio with some genuine occupational health and safety issues.

The entry point for my brief tour of China was the southern Province of Sichuan-famed for its incredibly spicy food and baffling theatrical performances.  I flew into the capital Chengdu at the start of October and explored the city between bouts of rain before venturing out into the nearby mountains.

After a frigid night in Shanghai we watched the city wake up.

I'd like to say there was a sound artistic reason for documenting the one of the busiest shopping districts in the world while it was dark and empty.
