Stretching a continuous distance of 2,500 km from Beijing in the north to Hangzhou in the south, the Grand Canal, construction of which began in the 4th century BC, is eleven times longer than the Suez and 22 times the length of the Panama Canal. In this richly illustrated book, 24 of China's top photographers present a panorama of the Canal, the cities, towns and countryside, the peoples and livelihoods, arts, crafts and other products found along the route. Gift inscription on FFEP, otherwise a fine copy of a beautiful book. 251 pp., over 360 colour plates, several double page spreads or fold-outs, 7 b&w plates, 8 maps. Size: 29 x 24 cm.
