Features: As a series of self-help travel books focused on practical information, "Travel China" strives to provide readers with comprehensive information, including relevant human and geographical knowledge to be aware of before departure, essential travel tips on clothing, food, accommodation, and transportation, as well as numerous recommendations and special reminders from "local insiders." "Travel China" aims to lead a new wave of travel enthusiasm 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 it. Therefore, "Travel 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 a sense of curiosity about ethnic minorities in the western regions; and without an in-depth understanding of Chinese history, how can one truly appreciate the myriad ancient architectural wonders? Of course, the editorial of "Travel China" remains to adopt an objective attitude and provide thorough information to offer readers the most effective travel guide possible. Xinjiang is a region that can be called "a land," for it is vast and boundless, round and generous, and vibrant yet simple.
