10 Best Books about Traveling in China
Anyone who has lived or traveled in China will have read at least one of these books at some point during their journey. They were written by Old China Hands - the masters of traveling in China. These authors have seen parts of China few others have, and had more experiences than most. Their words inspire us to visit China, or, for those of us already here, to get out of Shanghai and see the "real" China.
