Movie Reviews of Video Visits Travel Collection: Discovering China
Movie Review: Awesome Dvd about China and it's many provinces
Summary: 5 Stars
Since our daughter is from China I've been looking for a Dvd that would show my daughter her province (Guangdong)and some other provinces in China like: Beijing and it's Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square & Great Wall, Suzhou, Hangzou, X'ian, where the Terra Cotta Army stand, Guilin, Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Hong Kong.
The scenery is beautiful and the guide is present only by his voice which is very nice. This is very important because if China is your child's birth country you want a DVD that is done professionally and not with a guide / host who is going to make fun of China's people or it's food. Granted, food around the country is different and what you and I might think of is normal and not normal pretty much depends on where you are raised. You need a host that will not only be informative but professional. This is also a good DVD to watch is you are planning a future trip to China, it is truly a beautiful country!
