An interactive map with pop-ups of sounds of China paired with photos of the setting for the sound.

The final videos can all be found here.  I hesitate to embed any in the post because I know I would be prone to pick the "best" one.  Please click on the link and randomly select one to watch!

One thing I wished we had done is to write transitions so that the different videos linked together better.  I inadvertently led them to make videos on topics that come across as standing alone in time instead of being influenced and apart of other events and movements.

Thanks Kristine for finding this site. I've seen it pop up in other groups and blogs since so it was an excellent find. I'm just adding the main page so we can find a wide range of topics from it later.
