Focusing on wild beauty

China Daily  

Folk customs are a highlight on the plateau and have been one of Zhang's priorities. Over the past three decades, Zhang, now in his 60s, has traveled practically every nook and cranny of that pristine land, furnished with stunning mountains, lucid rivers, arid deserts and imposing glaciers, all of which he deems to be "magnificent". In a recent public lecture series Masters Talk, hosted by Chinese National Geography magazine, Zhang shared the highlights of his remarkable journey to a packed audience of more than 42,000. Ever since his first photography trip in 1985 to the Hoh Xil depopulated zone on the plateau, Zhang has been enamored by the stunning natural landscape. "The natural environment was grim, completely free from human interference, but it sort of tugged at your heartstrings because you saw everything purely complying with the rules of nature," says Zhang, who was born in Lanzhou, Gansu province.
