《China from Above》《鸟瞰中国》

From the remote mountains Hani to the multitude Han in the cities of the east, from the Dai of the steamy South to the desert dwelling Uygur, China's culture and customs hidden from view for thousands of years are slowly being revealed to the world.

从远山之中的哈尼族到东部城市中人口众多的汉族，从生活在南方水乡的傣族到以大漠为家的维吾尔族，中国数千年来神秘的文化和风俗正在为世界所了解。
