After a controversial world tour, the Olympic torch is now travelling around China
in the run-up to the Beijing Games in August.

The BBC is following the torch's journey, picking out various locations along the route that
show some of the different aspects of this vast country - its ancient temples and modern
cityscapes; urban riches and rural poverty; historical landmarks and political divisions.

By clicking on the map above, find out more about the places featured. When the torch
arrives at each place, we will add new material in text, pictures, audio and video, together
with accounts from people living in the area.

The torch arrives in Anyang, home to an ancient civilisation, on 28 July.
