Features: "Tibetan Antelope Self-Guided Travel. China" is a collection based on the published or upcoming provincial and municipal editions. It is the essence of each individual volume, and more accurately, it is a highly targeted practical travel guide. If in the individual volumes, we have provided excessive descriptions of the cultural background of the destinations and focused more on comprehensive coverage of attractions and scenic areas, as well as catering to different levels of consumer needs for food and accommodation, then in "China," we have made many targeted and varied editorial adjustments. Readers familiar with "Tibetan Antelope" are familiar with this slogan: We provide everything needed for self-guided travel except time and money. The improvement in living standards has greatly contributed to the tourism industry and has also led to the prosperity and development of travel books. Today, the variety of travel books is so vast that those who want to go out and see the world firsthand often feel overwhelmed when standing in front of the travel sections in major bookstores. Fortunately, there is a brand that stands out— it is the "Tibetan Antelope Self-Guided Travel" series. Since the end of 2000, when the "Tibetan Antelope" team was formed, and the first batch of books was published in May 2001, "Tibetan Antelope Self-Guided Travel" has not only completed the editing of the provincial and municipal editions but has also established its own brand effect. "Tibetan Antelope Self-Guided Travel. China" was compiled on this basis, and we used 700,000 words to provide a comprehensive summary of the mountains, rivers, and scenic spots of our motherland. Every member of the "Tibetan Antelope" team is a self-guided traveler enthusiast, so we deeply understand what a self-guided traveler hopes to see on the road, what practical information they need, and what reminders they crave. Additionally, every author of "Tibetan Antelope" can be considered an expert in self-guided travel. Their authority comes from their in-depth knowledge of the history, geography, culture, scenery, transportation, food, and accommodation related to every detail of the journey. Moreover, to complete this book, they traveled along familiar routes again, obtaining highly credible first-hand information. Therefore, every word in the book is a footprint of their dedication. This is one of the main reasons why the "Tibetan Antelope Self-Guided Travel" series has gained attention from industry professionals and recognition from numerous readers in such a short time. We advocate a simple travel value system with accurate, practical information and unique perspectives, growing together with our readers. As mentioned above, "Tibetan Antelope Self-Guided Travel. China" is a collection based on the published or upcoming provincial and municipal editions, representing the essence of each volume, and more accurately, it is a more targeted practical travel guide. If in the individual volumes, we have provided excessive descriptions of the cultural background of the destinations and focused more on comprehensive coverage of attractions and scenic areas, as well as catering to different levels of consumer needs for food and accommodation, then in "China," we have made many targeted and varied editorial adjustments. We believe that a true self-guided traveler already has a basic understanding of the cultural background of the destination before setting off, so we have made necessary cuts to the relevant sections in "China." Additionally, feedback from readers has made us realize that travelers prefer to make their own judgments based on their personal experiences rather than relying entirely on others' experiences. Therefore, we have removed the excessive personal opinions and background information from the original volumes, making the writing more concise and refined while also increasing its capacity and information content. The content of the practical information section has also been adjusted to better meet the actual needs of self-guided travelers. Here, we would like to extend special thanks to all readers who have updated information on the chiru website. The vast majority of the updated information from you ensures the timeliness and accuracy of the practical information section of the "Tibetan Antelope Self-Guided Travel" series. Additionally, the numerous newly developed scenic areas and hiking routes with (adventure) value in various provinces and cities well reflect the spirit of self-guided travel advocated by "Tibetan Antelope," and they are also a significant feature that distinguishes the "Tibetan Antelope Self-Guided Travel" from similar books. There is one point to clarify: Taiwan, as an inseparable part of our motherland, has always been one of the destinations that self-guided travelers yearn to visit, including Alishan and Sun Moon Lake. Due to well-known reasons, travelers from the mainland have yet to have the opportunity to enter this region. Therefore, we have omitted the relevant content in "Tibetan Antelope Self-Guided Travel. China," but we hope that in the near future, someone will fill this gap.
