I know I am always banging on about how good the BBC is but they have gone and excelled themselves this time. On Sunday evenings BBC are showing Wild China which is an exceptional programme. Last night they showed an area of China that was only discovered in the 1970s. I was transfixed. The water in this area comes from limestone cliffs and is crystal clear. So clear in fact that you can see a submerged forest in one of the lakes. I was so transfixed that I missed what the area was called.
If you are lucky enough to be able to watch BBC RealPlayer then go here and see the programme, it's a MUST!

This is just beautiful.
It was stunning wasn't it? The mineral lakes were quite amazing.

they filmed a scene or two in the movie, hero.
WOW!
The first one takes my breath away!
Now screening in Australia, as well. Truly excellent and shows us there is more to China than the rapidly industrialising, crammed east coast, cities.
