CHINA , WHERE WEST COLLIDES WITH EAST , CAPATALISM WITH SOCIALISM AND RICH WITH POOR . A COUNTRY OF CONTRASTS , HUGELY DYNAMIC BUT WITH ROOTS IN 18TH CENTURY FARMING . A HISTORY THAT GOES BACK THOUSANDS OF YEARS .CERTAINLY A MAJOR WORLD CONTENDER IN THIS , THE 21ST CENTURY . A WONDERFUL ,WARM PEOPLE ........ THIS IS CHINA , THE FINAL FRONTIER.

HERE ARE SOME IMAGES FROM MY VISIT WHICH , I HOPE , WILL TELL THEIR OWN STORY.

I FELT THAT CHINA FITTED MORE EASILY INTO ITS OWN GALLERY RATHER THAN SPREAD THE IMAGES ACROSS THE EXISTING ONES .
