365 Days in China (illustrated ed)

For tourism and business travel, interest in China has never been greater. And the 2008 Beijing Olympics promise to put China in the spotlight like never before.

The intricate stepped rice terraces of Yunnan. Fragrant plum blossoms over West Lake. Glamorous Shanghai, "the Paris of the East." The "water towns" of Zhejiang, the Three Gorges, cormorant fishing in Guangxi, morning tai chi, red chiles drying in the sun, Ten Thousand Buddha Hall, and the aptly named Flaming Mountains of Junger Basin. 365 Days in China is an evocative tribute to China's natural wonders, diverse people, and rich and long-reaching history.
