From Shanghai to Yuanyang, from industrial megacities to the rice terraces of Inner Mongolia — a compilation film from AERIALCOLLECTION rushes.
From Shanghai to Yuanyang, from industrial megacities to the rice terraces of Inner Mongolia
China as filmed by AERIALCOLLECTION is a country of multiple and often contradictory faces. From the glass-and-steel towers of Shanghai shrouded in pollution haze, to the near-surreal silence of the UNESCO-listed rice terraces of Yuanyang: no other country in the world concentrates so many visual contrasts within a single aerial collection.
Our teams have filmed China over more than a decade — from the skyscrapers of Hong Kong to the steppes of Inner Mongolia, from the spectacular water release at Xiaolangdi Dam on the Yellow River to the forests of under-construction towers in Nantong, and the extraordinary geological formations of Zhangye Danxia National Geopark — the "Rainbow Mountains".
Shanghai, the economic capital, alone houses over 25 million people and is home to the world's busiest container port — Yangshan Port. Hong Kong offers one of the highest urban densities on the planet.
In stark contrast, the Yuanyang rice terraces in Yunnan, sculpted for over 1,300 years by the Hani people, constitute one of the most spectacular agricultural landscapes in the world. The Zhangye Danxia National Geopark reveals unique coloured sandstone rock formations, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
