Travel Around China: The Guide to Exploring the Sites, the Cities, the Provinces, and More Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is lovely to look at, but the information inside is very minimal and completely uninteresting. The maps are uninformative (such as giving you an idea about what surrounds the province) and the narrative is so boring. Within the first few pages I felt like screaming. There are dry lists of roads, or festivals or possible itineraries, and the narratives contain lots of numbers (the square feet and height and dimensions, etc.) but nothing that tells you a place is exciting, or crumbling, or friendly or any sort of personal connection. To keep the book attractive they have used some lovely pictures, framing and lots of white space around the written areas. So they have had to seriously cut down on the number of attractions and cities they can include. If you only plan on hitting the most common places, this book might be for you. But if you want something that includes lesser know attractions and cities, you best keep looking for another book.
