Atlas of China

Detailed and up-dated, the Atlas of China are organized by maps of administrative divisions and topography, supplemented with an index to place names. IN the first category, two regions of strategic importance and great economic value are mapped, in addition to all the provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, which are the first level of administrative divisions under the state. The two geographical rather than administrative regions are Shanghai-Nanjing-Hangzhou Region and Chengdu-Chongqing Region. The topographic maps produce a clear picture of China’s landform. A comprehensive atlas of China, this volume will be of great value to universities, libraries, research institutes, and individuals who are interested in this country.

The Last Days of Old Beijing– Life in the Vanishing Backstreets of a City Transformed
This book was written by Michael Meyer, who had lived in Beijing for 10 years and had supporting education for 13 years. You can consider it as culture class books rather than functional tourism books. And in the New York Times, it regards this book as a must-read for those armchair travelers.
Surely we can collect kinds of info from internet nowadays, but feelings about having a book in hand and reading it when you want to can never be replaced by the internet. I think you can compare them together then get most suitable one. Hope you can have a wonderful trip in china travel.
