He photographs civilization's materials and debris, but in a way people describe as "stunning" or "beautiful," and so raises all kinds of questions about ethics and aesthetics without trying to easily answer them. The film follows Burtynsky to China as he travels the country photographing the evidence and ...

An industrial township, this city is a major production base for small home appliances - there would be over 5000 units producing these goods. Besides appliances, Cixi is ...

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.

... down on the fabric/textile industry in this area. We then moved on to the Bell Tower which was open and free to enter. Thankfully as it was tiny and really had nothing in it except for a few pictures. Not so exciting so we left wondering where the bloody bell was. HHHmmm!
