Wordlessly follow the Yellow River’s path, gazing at the grandeur and peering in at Anno’s elaborate and diminutive illustrations. Concentrate on the colossal like Xian’s terra cotta soldiers or the Great Wall. Marvel at minutiae like calligraphers and peasants in their daily activities or ducks herded on the river. A feast for your eyes and mind!

Allow Anno to be your guide to China. Through delightfully detailed watercolors, readers will explore this vast and varied land where calligraphers bestow good fortune, birds fish for men, and dragons dance. Stand with Anno on the Great Wall, visit bustling villages where the streets are waterways and everyone, even horses and bulls, travel by boat. Learn how flocks of ducks are herded on rivers and witness the discovery of thousands of clay soldiers guarding the ancient tomb of China’s first emperor.
