Jolly Spring Ningbo

... of that country's massive industrial revolution. Sites such as the Three Gorges Dam, which is bigger by 50% than any other dam in the world and displaced over a million people, factory floors over a kilometre long, and the breathtaking scale of Shanghai's urban renewal are subjects for his lens and our motion picture camera. Shot in Super-16mm film, Manufactured Landscapes extends the narrative streams of Burtynsky's photographs, allowing us to meditate on our profound impact on the ...

Reached Ningbo after another 4 hour bus trip, all on modern highways. 20 years ago China didnīt have any highways and today itīs a 30 000 km network, second only to the US. Ningbo is another big city, and my last stop before heading back to Shanghai and flying out.

... island. The boat immediately gave the nice impression of retiring from the city and joining the natural world. We were all confined over this tiny hull, and this gave us the opportunity to talk and talk and get to know each other. Nevertheless we could not wait to be on the island and we disembarked franticly. On top of the first hill on the island path we could see the ...

I stayed in Ningbo overnight as it was the nearest airport for us to fly home from. The hotel we stayed at was called the 'Howard Johnson' and it was amazingly luxurious. I will always remember this hotel as well as the one in Hangzhou as the most incredible hotels I have ever stayed at. The rooms were huge, the bathroom was as big as my bedroom at home and all the extra touches made this place somewhere I ...

... to the church, crossed the river and headed down to the Baizhang Donglu Bridge. After crossing to my side of the river I made my way along the Fenghua Jiang (river) to the last bridge. I then headed slowly back to the hotel of 'Scantily clad Night Beauties'. So, Ningbo. What's it like? The river walk really was beautiful and if I was to spend one more day ...

... spending the day in bed resting. When I got out of the cab there was a huge wind and when I opened my wallet three one hundred Yuan bills flew out and were swept up the road. I didn't know what to do. I kind of just stood there in bewilderment as they whirled their way onto the road never to be seen by me again. I usually keep them zipped up in the back but I had taken them out ready for the next couple of buses. Well, there ...

Back to reality. After a few months of fairly dirty, small and/or old cities, we went back to a big city. A big city is a big city is a big city. There are a few exceptions... Rome, Prague, Rio, Paris, New York, San Francisco, London... they have a unique character about them that truly sets them apart. With the exception of the former, if an alien came to earth and visited 200 big cities, this being would probably ...

... small trees lining the main roads. As soon as I stepped off yet another night bus, I recognised the smell of hot, polluted air confirmed by a yellowing sky. The taxi driver was cheerful at 7.30am, but I thought he was winding me up when he indicated a dusty yard and a set of shabby buildings that was the ferry terminal. Baffling, there were no boats either, but there were a couple of ramshackle buses to take passengers to ...
