Synopsis

China, the great and mysterious giant in the East. Always in the news, in movies, books, and classrooms, China still is not understood save by a few Westerners who have penetrated its mystique.

Visting China, by Dib Taylor, is a telling diary of one couple's journey throughout this remarkable country. Dib Taylor and her husband experience firsthand the charms, allures, and magic of a country and peopel still cloaked with the vestiges of time-honored tradition yet very much in touch with the challenges and opportunities of a new and burgeoning technological age.

With keen observation and crisp reporting, the author brings us through the teeming streets of Shanghai, the Grand Canal of Suzhou, and into the serene monasteries of Hangzhou. You will share the excitement and awe at being atop the Great Wall, of moving among the Ming Tombs, and of walking about the majesty of Beijing's Forbidden City.

Above all else, Visting China brings you into the hearts and souls of the Chinese people, and in doing so makes your world a smaller and nicer place to live. Now you can visit China without leaving home. This warm and witty diary will take you there.
