Last year was very special for China and the world. Many events occurred in 2008. In this seminar, I would like to summarise our China Field Class in July last year. This three-week course provided us a great opportunity to explore more about China's society, culture, history, landscape and geography. I will guide you to travel around the country on a virtual tour in 30 minutes..
