CHINA ADVENTURE GUIDE
By
Simon Foster
This guide focuses on areas that are most rewarding for tourists (all of China could not be seen in several lifetimes): Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong and their surroundings, Xi’an and the Terracotta Warriors, the
Yangzi River’s Three Gorges, the majestic rural scenery around Guilin, the Pearl River Delta, and the island of Macau. For each region, activities range from Dragon Boat racing, Chinese cooking and language
lessons, to golfing, hiking and bike rides. All the big sights are described, but so are little dumpling houses, lively markets and walks through narrow old streets. You discover the best places to study tai chi and get the lowdown on the 2008 Olympics. Names for all places, attractions, hotels, restaurants are shown in Chinese characters as well
as in English, so the reader can communicate well with taxi drivers and get directions. Basic phrases and terms are listed in English, Chinese and pinyin, meaning you can also try and twist your tongue around the
local lingo.
The author has been an adventure tour leader in Asia for 10 years and has written for the Rough Guide to China, as well as various travel magazines.
