RELEASE: Yangzhou – A City of Timeless Culture
During our shoot in April we collected some great images of Yangzhou in Jiangsu Province.
This 30 minute film is eye candy for anyone interested in learning about the city, which is small modern, yet romantic town laced with classic architecture, some of the most beautiful women in China, and great places to eat. It was a stronghold for some of China’s most famous artists in the past and a vacation destination for emperors.
Chris Nebe sits with Mr. Xie, who kindly opened the doors of Yangzhou to our crew.
A wonderful dinner, discussing the shoot.

Every day, Buddhist monks and nuns wake for 3am prayer that lasts for 2 hours.

The Chinese take breakfast very seriously. In Yangzhou, food is of particular importance. This is taken from one of the most famous ‘bowze’ houses in Jiangsu.

The lady in the middle is an incredibly skilled puppeteer who performs the ancient opera of Face Changing. This is not typically done with puppets.
See what I mean?

The crew with our buddy Noah [under my foot]. He was a great production assistant and didn’t deserve this kind of treatment.
Thanks Yangzhou. We hope to return again for all the awesome food and beauty.
