Features: This is a vivid and historically rich illustrated cultural tourism book. The book follows the trajectory of the Republic of China government since its establishment in 1912, starting from its capital Nanjing and "traversing" through various capitals or political centers of different periods such as Beijing, Guangzhou, Wuhan, and Chongqing. It revolves around the activities of key figures, comprehensively "reconstructing" the historical landscape of that time from multiple perspectives, including politics, military, economy, culture, and foreign affairs. As travelers follow the path of the Republic of China government and approach the preserved Republican-era heritage, the knowledge introduced in this book is brought to life by the tangible buildings and historical artifacts before them, allowing travelers to truly experience the ups and downs of the Republican era's historical drama. To provide a comprehensive understanding of the social, economic, and cultural life during the Republican period, the book also introduces some "secondary" regions. The term "secondary" simply refers to those not at the center of the historical stage. In fact, places like Shanghai, Tianjin, and Qingdao introduced in this book held extremely important positions during the Republican era. Additionally, the book is equipped with practical travel guides tailored to actual needs.
