Review & Description
More than a decade after first discovering an idyllic walled town deep in the mountains of southwest China, a former guidebook writer returns to find his modern-day vision of Shangrila threatened by an outsider intent on bringing the party scene to town. When he falls for the newcomer's fire-dancing Chinese girlfriend, he becomes entangled in a conflict that pits the drug-addled Westerners against increasingly hostile locals. A dark exploration of the disrupting effects of change, globalization and travel, Harvest Season also provides a glimpse of a China most of us never imagined existed. Read more
