| Brief Description: | The previous edition was praised as an "exhaustive, insightful guide (which) navigates the vast and sometimes perplexing country ...with ease and aplomb" (Oregonian), "a practical guide to all aspects of the country, from religion to cuisine" (San Antonio Express), and for The Wichita Eagle "a better guide - period" compared to the Lonely Planet. We've included comprehensive sections on history and culture to supplement our coverage of the country's most interesting sights and most popular attractions (Terracotta Army, Great Wall, etc.) There's detailed coverage of restaurants and hotels in both the cities and countryside, and we take you to the more obscure locations known mainly to Chinese tourists to discover the best and most interesting China has to offer. |
