In the summer of 2006, I spent just under 4 weeks visiting a variety ot places in China, avidly taking photos, absorbing my surroundings and the Chinese culture, and keeping notes about the things I was observing, learning and contemplating. This book will hopefully give you a great deal of insight into what it is like to be in China at a very fascinating time in its evolution. If you are considering visiting China, this book, with its 14 stories and just under 100 photographs, might help you to make your decision. I hope you will enjoy it!
