"My intentions here are simple: avoid discussions about what exactly constitutes Chinese photography, evade overwhelming information, and instead visually examine the role that such photographs play in shaping China’s image"
(English, French, Chinese). Some whimsical — Alain Delorme Totems, others moving — Song Chao Miners, Migrant workers and Hold.
China is a good place to visit.

I've got to say, I was at the 3 gorges dam in 2005 to see what those photos depict live and while these are some of the best shots to capture its scale, they still look like miniatures compared to the real thing. Also I love the shots of the people "mining" the demolished villages which you saw all up and down the river, people trying to scrape out anything left of value from the rubble before the water rose. It was a wild time.
