Exploring Beijing Illustrated

In this book, with its superb, finely detailed and very-user friendly illustrations, the reader will find thorough descriptions of scores of worthwhile destinations. There is also enough historic background for the browser to gain some perspective on the myriad intricacies of China?s sometime bewildering past. Just thumbing through this book will give some idea of just how much there is to discover in Beijing, and the imaginative illustrations tip you off to details not usually touched on in guidebooks, such as Peking Opera Masks, the old shop signs and the Marco Polo bridge. Many, many colour photos too!
