About this work

In the northeast Sichuan province of China lies the Sichuan Basin, surrounded by mountains on all sides and drained by the Yangtzee River. The basin is considered the breadbasket of China. On the northeast edge, flat-lying Jurassic to Cretaceous sandstones have been eroded to form an intricately carved landscape of upland fields and lowland streams and valleys.
