Features: A large number of newly shot images provide you with fresh visual information. Pioneering in-depth illustrated indexes for Chinese travel books, making it easy and quick for you to find the information you need. All the attractions, hotels, and restaurants introduced in this book are clearly marked in the maps, facilitating your use and allowing you to always know your location. The term "" (literally "walk alone") does not mean traveling alone, but rather that your "journey" must be personalized. No matter how renowned or famous the destination, your "journey" must hold meaning and value for you! This is the philosophy of "" (Walk Alone China). We never suggest following a fixed travel pattern. Rushing through enclosed, developed attractions is merely consumption. However, everyone has some responsibilities perhaps more important than traveling, and not everyone has the time to explore the "weeds" and "rocks" on the road. Therefore, we need "rovers" to pave the way for us. For Europeans, Marco Polo was their rover to understand China; for Emperor Wu of Han, Zhang Qian was his rover to explore beyond the Western Regions of China; Xu Xiake is our roving role model, who dedicated his life to collecting the "weeds" and "rocks" of the road. And we—the "" (Walk Alone China) book—will become your rover and help you become your own rover. To conclude, this is a very practical little book.
