Features: The book "China Attractions" includes 2,928 attractions, making it arguably the most comprehensive book in the market for its category. Not only does "China Attractions" cover a vast number of attractions, but it also boasts the largest number of maps among similar books. Each prefecture-level city under every province in the book is equipped with a travel and transportation map, detailing the distribution of attractions in the area and the distances from major attractions to the city centers, making it convenient for readers to plan their trips. Additionally, the book provides special holiday travel routes for the Spring Festival, May Day, and National Day (May 5–7), along with information on food and lodging, transportation, travel agencies, and telephone services. The book also assigns star ratings to some attractions, with ★★★ indicating the most important attractions, ★★ being the next most important, and ★ being the least important. Most attractions are not rated with stars. To highlight China's World Heritage Sites, the book marks them with a ★★★★ rating. The number of stars is relative and is merely provided as a reference for travelers, with no other intention.
