The Amur Leopard or Manchurian Leopard is one of the rarest large wide cats on earth. It is reckoned that less than 30 of these big cats remain in the wild and as such are in extremely high risk of extinction. About 200 of these leopard exist in zoos around the world. The cats are native of Northeast China, Korea and the Russian Far East.

Hong Kong Streets

Almost certainly my favourite city, Hong Kong's streets are alive with people day and night. The whole city seems to buzz with activity. The above shot captures this sense of biz as cars and people rush by.

Longshen rice terraces in Guilin

The image I always had of China, as a child, was of paddy fields and terraces growing rice in the mountains. However, most of China isn't like that. Longshen, in Guilin, in the South of China is. This is one of the most spectacular areas of rice terracing in China. The area is now a national park and popular tourist destination.

Shanghai Moon

As soon as I saw this picture, I know I had to include it in my blog. I've seen so many night pics of Shanghai's Bund and Huang Pu river. I've even taken a fair few of them myself. However, it is rare to see one that includes the moon as the focus of the photo.
