Its culture, its food, the way its people dress, its ideologies, is known across the world.

But it still remains something of an undiscovered country for many outside its borders.

We're hoping that these stunning images will reveal a bit more about the country and underscore just what a jaw-droppingly diverse place it is.

It's a country with neck-straining skyscrapers, cormorant fishermen, dramatic waterfalls, terrifying glass walkways, Unesco-listed national parks and, for a bonus, the world's biggest city square.



The Li River loops around the karst mountains in Guilin.

The Chinese regard the scenery in Guilin as among the most beautiful in the world.
