The LA Times website has a photo essay cooing over how pretty China's lakes, forests and waterfalls are. I hate to break it to them but some of those photographs are about as real as my close personal friendship with Gore Vidal. Every year China's tourist board churns out terrible hardback photo books which purport to show the countryside in all its natural beauty. Anyone with half an hour's experience using PhotoShop can probably tell that these photos have been touched up. If you want an approximation of what China really looks like simply take your laptop into your car and run the exhaust through the window while staring at the photographs.
