The Great Wall of China remains the most soaring architectural achievement of the Chinese people –but it’s not the only one, as this entertaining and informative program reveals. Highlights include dazzling graphic re-creations of a Chinese village from seven thousand years ago, the terracotta army of the First Chinese Emperor and Beijing’s Forbidden City. Features superb 3D graphics, State-of-the-art computer generated animation, all new location footage, and expert commentary and analyses. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Do not buy: terribly boring If you teach, this video IS NOT for you. Nearly unwatchable. Rating: - This DVD is great for teaching This DVD works perfectly with the grade 8 Social studies (B.C.)

I don't even remember the Tang or Sung dynasties being mentioned. So this DVD isn't really a complete introduction to the subject, although I did enjoy the expert commentary on topics being discussed. Aside from the problems resulting from the brevity & rushed pace of this DVD, I had few complaints. The computer animation was overdone a bit. ...
