To know more about China, I picked the book 'Chasing China: How I went to China in search of a fortune and found a life'. It has the mayhem of the traffic and the author spending time at a house maintained as a part hotel. I didnt get too far with that. I did not expect much with this book too.
'Country Driving''s main appeal is in that the author knows the language of the place. In his travels he takes us along to different geographical places - loess, desserts. While he is covering all this ground tracing the Great Wall, nothing escapes his attention, the narrow alleys of hutong or the yaodong, cave homes.
