Wow FactorBorn in China allows viewers to experience a rare glimpse of untouched China. With lush and vibrant vistas, and unbelievable, intimate  scenes captured of the wildlife, Born in China offers a visually mesmerizing experience.

Fun Facts:  To film the giant pandas, cinematographers had to don “panda suits,” black-and-white suits that disguised their human smell and appearance from the animals.

Tao Tao’s sister was originally chosen for the protagonist role of the golden snub-nosed monkeys, but Tao Tao stole the spotlight.

The Qinghai plateau is sometimes called “the Roof of the World.” At 14,000-16,000 feet high it  is the world’s highest and largest plateau.
