Travelers' Tales China is a must for any traveler to China, to anyone wanting to learn more about the Middle Kingdom, offering a breadth and depth of experience from both new and well-known authors, and helps make the China experience unforgettable and transforming. These pages take you through 6,000 years of history to modern-day socialist China, from the Silk Road to the high-tech center of Beijing. Explore the old as well as the new--from the tombs of dead emperors to the world's largest dam. Roam around one of China's 700 nature preserves in a country that boasts more wildlife than any other in the world. Wander the vastness of the Gobi Desert and skirt the darkness of history while exploring the assault on Nanking, and be shaken by observations of death during the upheavals of the Red Guard. Go riding with Ghengis Khan, explore the Forbidden City, and walk along sections of the Great Wall that are seldom visited. You can taste and smell the food as it is cooked in alleys and inns, reach down and touch relics older than most of Europe, and enjoy the sights and the sounds of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Download Traveller Tales of China Or the Story-Telling Hongs (Classic Reprint) Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Excerpt from Traveller Tales of China or the Story-Telling Hongs In this volume I have aimed, after the manner of the "Zigzag Stories," to give a view of the social life of Russian China and China; to make an instructive book, which should picture the new way around the world by the Siberian railway, and the new ports of the East in Manchuria and on the Yellow Sea. This is the second volume of the new series of "Traveller Tales," written after the manner of the "Zigzag" series, which sought to illustrate the manners and customs of nations by folk-lore tales and travellers' narratives, in a progressive manner. Many of the interpolated stories in this volume are "Jakarta" legends, which means that they were parables imputed to Buddha, but which were written to make clear his teachings a century or more after his death. These tales are the folk-lore of Buddhism, and are well known in Buddhist countries, and illustrate the manners and customs of the people of the past and present. The book seeks to make clear to young people the new conditions, as well as the old traditions, of the Chinese people.

Download Travelers' Tales India Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
India is among the most difficult—and most rewarding—of places to travel. Some have said India stands for "I’ll Never Do It Again." Many more are drawn back time after time because India is the best show on earth, the best bazaar of human experiences that can be visited in a lifetime. India dissolves ideas about what it means to be alive, and its people give new meaning to compassion, perseverance, ingenuity, and friendship. India—monsoon and marigold, dung and dust, colors and corpses, smoke and ash, snow and endless myth—is a cruel, unrelenting place of ineffable sweetness. Much like life itself. Journey to the Kumbh Mela in Allahabad, the world’s biggest party, with David Yeadon and take "A Bath for Fifteen Million People"; greet the monsoon with Alexancer Frater where the Indian and Pacific Oceans meet; track the endangered Indian One-Horned Rhinoceros through the jungles of Assam with Larry Habegger; encounter the anguish of the caste system with Steve Coll; discover the eternal power of the "monument of love," the Taj Mahal, with Jonah Blank; and much more.
