Features: "Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles" was the pursuit of ancient scholars in their quest for knowledge and self-cultivation. In the 21st century, "ten thousand books" and "ten thousand miles" are no longer rare or difficult to attain, but the challenge lies in reading books that are truly meaningful and traveling paths that are worthwhile. China is a vast country with abundant tourism resources, and exploring it is a common passion and aspiration for the descendants of the Yellow River civilization. Therefore, "Ctrip's China" 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, precautions, little-known facts, tips, and budgeting advice for trips, all presented in a practical and distinctive structure. It is particularly noteworthy that the book carries recommendations from thousands of "travelers" (or "long-marchers") for hidden gems across the country, many of which may have been previously unknown. Thus, avid travelers can discover how to explore, food lovers can find out where to savor local delicacies, photography enthusiasts can get location guides and photo references, and backpackers can find kindred spirits. These valuable experiences of learning by doing are thanks to the six years of operation of Ctrip Travel Network's travel community, as well as the accumulated wisdom of countless travelers. Naturally, these insights should be shared with society and readers to be passed on and celebrated.
