Saipan - The Saipan-focused photography book by Leslie Ray Ware was officially launched during the opening of Annual Flame Tree Festival in The Marianas on April 17. Aptly titled 'Saipan", it is considered as one of the few and precious coffee table books released about Saipan, the main island of the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas.

Leslie Ray Ware is a Saipan based American photographer. In the last 10 years, he has photographed thousands of amazing natural sceneries in Saipan and other destinations in Southeast Asia including Vietnam and Cambodia. In "Saipan" Leslie showcases vivid images of the beautiful nature and island culture of this magnificent Pacific destination, which is reachable in only four hours from Shanghai.

Sales of the book shot up at the start of Annual the Flame Tree Festival. Tourists from China and Russia bought the books and were happy to bring with them a truly memorable and rare souvenir about Saipan. The book will be available this May in Shanghai. Leslie's most praised Flame Tree photography will be featured at Century Tours booth during the World Travel Fair on May 10 at the Shanghai Exhibition Center in West Nanjing Road.
