Features: "Walk Through China" focuses on independent travel, but even more on human geography. 34 cultural celebrities guide you on a spiritual journey through China, and expertly tailored travel guides are provided for you. "Walk Through China" aims to lead a new wave of travel fever with a "discovering perspective." The ultimate goal of travel is not just to "arrive," but to broaden one's horizons, understand the world, and appreciate all things that exist alongside us in the world. Therefore, "Walk Through China" includes an additional "Interpretation" section, interpreting the local geography, history, and culture to provide readers with a pre-trip foundation. Without reading some Tang and Song Dynasty poetry, it's difficult to understand the differences in the landscapes of Jiangnan. Without some knowledge of ethnology, one might easily fall into the curiosity of western ethnic minorities. Without an in-depth understanding of Chinese history, how can one appreciate the myriad ancient architectural wonders? Of course, the editorial of "Walk Through China" remains to provide readers with as effective a travel guide as possible with an objective attitude and thorough information.
On the cultural geographical map of China, Shaanxi holds great significance. The Qinling Mountains, which run through the middle of Shaanxi, divide the Chinese landmass into northern and southern regions, creating distinct geographical features and cultures. The Yellow River's major tributary, the Wei River, which flows across the Guanzhong Plain, is hailed as the "axis of Chinese culture" and has nurtured the ancient cultures of Zhou, Qin, Han, and Tang—China's most brilliant ancient civilizations.
