Chief among them is Tan Ming, whose contributions have been particularly singled out by specialist dealers for their quality. In total there are 238 photographs (several of which fold out into dramatic panoramic views) documenting forty-four of China's most significant sites, including the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and the terracotta army of the First Qin Emperor, alongside less familiar but equally striking locations such as the great earthen \u003cem\u003etulou\u003c\/em\u003e dwellings of Fujian Province, the terraced fields of Yuanyang County, and the multicoloured travertine pools of Huanglong Valley.
