FIRST PLACE


Title: Little Companion
Photographer: David Dohler
Program: Yangtze River: Waterways and Landmarks of China
Location: Beijing, China



The cricket or cicada was one of three in our rickshaw — they were very noisy. We used the rickshaws to explore the hutong area of Beijing. It was always easy to find our rickshaw because we could hear the crickets.



I think the highlight was our time spent in Yangshuo. Besides the fantastic scenery, it was good to see rural China and the way they have lived for centuries.
