During a pit stop in Sichuan, China, curious kids came bounding across the field to me. I was midway through a 10,000-kilometer motorbike ride to Pakistan near the border with Tibet.

Sunrise in Yangshuo, Guilin, China. Yangshuo, nestled on the banks of the Li River, is known for its spectacular limestone mountains. For centuries, painters, poets, and philosophers have been drawn to this majestic location.

In summer 2007 I journeyed through Xinjiang Province, around the Old Silk Road, going especially to the old Uygur towns. After Kashgar, I went to Lake Karakul, near the borders of Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Afghanistan. I stayed in Kyrgyz yurts, walking 30 kilometers though the desert to reach two tiny Kyrgyz villages. The lake is surrounded by snowy peaks and is very high, toward 6,000 meters. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been, though the people are poor

This photo was taken in spring 2009 while I was in China. It is a beautiful contrast of the colors and people working. The colors of the umbrella pop against the dismal sky.

Shenzhen River, also called Sham Chun River, flowing southwest into Shenzhen Bay, serves as the natural border between Hong Kong and mainland China. In the city of Shenzhen, on one side of the river, construction has extended to the border, while the land remains unused in the Frontier Closed Area on the Hong Kong side. This shot was taken at the top of Shun Hing Square, the highest building in Shenzhen.

Shanghai, known as the Eastern Manhattan, is famous for its night view and architecture. Those skyscrapers landed on the east side of the Huangpu River, which flows through the city and divides it into halves. They are the symbol of the fast development of China. Every individual who sees this would be amazed by both the view and China's economic growth.

I took this photo browsing through an artist village near the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall of China. The colorful dyes shown are applied by hand to intricately designed copper vases.

A group of traveling Chinese opera singers came to town. They set up a temporary theatre under a bridge with bamboo sticks. They slept under the stage and put on their makeup and costumes in a tiny area behind the stage. This group performs all over China, traveling from town to town, staying perhaps a week in each place, providing traditional entertainment that would otherwise be lost to television and the Internet.
