Detail

Whether or not you have ever set foot on the Great Wall, you have never seen it quite like this. Published by Foreign Languages Press, Unseen Great Wall brings together the strikingly powerful color photography of renowned photographer Li Shaobai.
Different from ordinary tourist landscape photos, Li Shaobai pursues, with an artist's keen eye, the winding trajectory of the Great Wall from its eastern starting point at Dandong, through the areas around Beijing, all the way to the western frontier of Xinjiang. The book not only includes large-format photographs (including foldouts) that showcase the Great Wall's majestic grandeur, but also captures its quiet details under the changing seasons and varying light.
Highlights of This Book:
Artistic Perspective: Photographer Li Shaobai excels at telling stories through unique composition and color, elevating the Great Wall from a mere defensive fortification into a spiritual totem.
Bilingual Presentation: The book is laid out in both Chinese and English. The text vividly describes how the image of the Great Wall has shifted in different people's eyes—from a defensive barrier to a "brother" guarding the homeland—making it suitable for readers and collectors around the world.
Exquisite Craftsmanship: As a high-quality photography album of over 200 pages, this book features image materials of great collectible value, making it an excellent vehicle for understanding Chinese history and photographic art.
