Features: "Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles" is the pursuit of ancient scholars in their quest for knowledge and self-cultivation. In the 21st century, both "ten thousand books" and "ten thousand miles" are no longer rare or difficult to attain. However, the challenge lies in reading books that are truly meaningful and traveling paths that are worthwhile. China, as a vast country with abundant tourism resources, is a common passion and pursuit for descendants of the Yellow River. Therefore, "Ctrip's China Tour" was republished under the anticipation of countless travel enthusiasts and netizens, undoubtedly playing a positive role in helping domestic travelers avoid unnecessary detours and appreciate more beautiful scenery. The book offers unique introductions to scenic spots, travel guides, tips, trivia, practical advice, and budget planning, all presented in a practical and distinctive structure. It is particularly noteworthy that the book incorporates recommendations from thousands of "travelers" (often referred to as "luyou" in Chinese), highlighting hidden gems that may have been previously unknown. As a result, avid travelers can discover how to explore, food lovers can find the best dining spots, photography enthusiasts can get location guidance and photo references, and backpackers can find kindred spirits. These valuable experiences stem from the six years of operation of Ctrip Travel Network's travel community, as well as the collective wisdom of travelers over time. Naturally, these insights should be shared with society and readers to promote their wider appreciation.
