Features: As a series of self-help travel books focused on practical information, "Explore China" strives to provide readers with comprehensive 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 "local insiders." "Explore China" aims to lead a new wave of travel enthusiasm with a "discovery perspective." The ultimate goal of travel is not just to "arrive," but to broaden one's horizons and understand the world and all things that coexist with us in it. Therefore, "Explore China" includes an additional "Interpretation" section to explain the local geography, history, and culture, providing readers with a foundation before their trip. Without reading some Tang and Song Dynasty poetry, it is difficult to appreciate the beauty of Jiangnan's landscapes; without some knowledge of ethnology, one may easily fall into the curiosity of Western ethnic minorities; and without an in-depth understanding of Chinese history, how can one appreciate the myriad ancient architectural wonders? Of course, the editorial of "Explore China" remains to adopt an objective attitude and thorough information to provide readers with the most effective travel guide possible.
