Features: "Explore China" aims to lead a new wave of travel fever with a "discovering perspective." The ultimate purpose of travel is not just to "arrive," but to broaden one's horizons, understand the world, and appreciate all things that exist alongside us. Therefore, "Explore China" includes an additional "Interpretation" section, offering insights into the local geography, history, and culture to prepare readers for their journey. Without familiarity with Tang and Song Dynasty poetry, it's difficult to appreciate the landscapes of Jiangnan; without some knowledge of ethnology, one may fall into the trap of exoticizing ethnic minorities in the west; and without a deep understanding of Chinese history, how can one appreciate the myriad ancient architectural wonders? Of course, the editorial of "Explore China" remains to provide readers with the most effective travel guide with an objective attitude and comprehensive information. As a self-help travel book series focused on practical information, "Explore China" strives to offer readers thorough information, including relevant human geography knowledge to understand before departure, essential travel tips on clothing, food, accommodation, and transportation, as well as numerous recommendations and special reminders from "locals."
