And for serious kung fu fanatics, there are not one, two but three martial arts marvels โ€“ Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Iron Monkey and The Forbidden Kingdom. Between them they have some of the most spectacularly choreographed moves in cinema history.

Not One Less-movieFor those wishing to watch a film with a more gentle pace, dip into rural Chinese culture with Not One Less, a beautiful tale about a 13-year-old girl, who is depended on by her small community to find a school boy after he goes missing.
