Abstract:

"Like the Ping Wei films, LAND OF THE DRAGON is a 30-minute documentary that offers a rare glimpse of life inside China. This time our journey is hosted by 13-year old Liu Hui Ping. She acts as both tour guide and teacher, appearing on camera (and speaking in English) as she leads us through the Forbidden City and other historical sites. From hutongs (traditional Chinese homes) to temples you'll see how people live their lives in one of the busiest and fastest growing cities in the world. Travel through China, learning as you go about history, customs, culture and language. Narrated in both English and Mandarin (with subtitles), this documentary takes you from Beijing to the Yangtze River and beyond - offering a rare glimpse at life inside the Land of the Dragon."-- from http://www.pearlriver.tv/documentaries.htm, 12/01/06
