This is no ordinary guidebook into one of the world's greatest civilizations. It will take readers not through a single passage through China, but through the multiple passages of China, touching on the country's rich history, diverse cultures, politics, and the remarkable stories of this stupendous nation's development in recent decades to be the China that we see today. Travel books and business guides on China are a dime a dozen. But Passage through China offers something unique to readers in terms of depth and insight by bringing life and historical context to the different provinces of China and their ancient relics and landscapes.
