About the Ebook
This book chronicles our journey through China, from Beijing and Xi’an in the northeast to Kunming in the southwest and back east to Guilin and then Shanghai.

While we expected to see man-made wonders like the Great Wall and the Terracotta Warriors as well as beautiful landscapes, the most distinctive characteristic of China is its people.
