Many people visiting China buy the requisite guidebooks but they don’t even skim the surface of the Chinese experience or literature.
The Traveler’s Tales series of books does an amazing job compiling a wide variety of authors and stories into one manageable volume providing a great starting point for anyone wanting to begin to understand China.
The editors also weave small quotes, sayings, proverbs, and snippets into boxes throughout the book to provide a leavening to the stories.
Some stories are short, some are long and all of them are interesting.

I find this book, and all of the Traveler’s Tales Books, required reading whenever I visit a country and this book is no exception.
The editors have done a great job bringing together stories from authors well-known and not-well-known.
Some you will recognize like: Peter Hessler, Mark Salzman and others you will be reading for the first-time.

Even you aren’t planning a trip to China I can’t imagine a better single book to provide some of the atmosphere of being in China.
Brew yourself a pot of tea and settle in for a compelling series of stories that is easily digestible in small chunks or in one long sitting.
