In Touring China, Yajun Mo explores how early twentieth century
Chinese sightseers described the destinations that they visited,
and how their travel accounts gave Chinese readers a means to
imagine their vast country. The roots of China's tourism market
stretch back over a hundred years, when railroad and steamship
networks expanded into the coastal regions. Tourism-related
businesses and publications flourished in urban centers while
scientific exploration, investigative journalism, and wartime
travel propelled many Chinese from the eastern seaboard to its
peripheries. Mo considers not only accounts of overseas travel and
voyages across borderlands, but also trips within China. On the one
hand, via travel and travel writing, the unity of China's coastal
regions, inland provinces, and western frontiers was experienced
and reinforced. On the other, travel literature revealed a
persistent tension between the aspiration for national unity and
the anxiety that China might fall apart. Touring China tells a
fascinating story about the physical and intellectual routes people
took on various journeys, against the backdrop of the transition
from Chinese empire to nation-state.

The World's Great Rail Journeys describes over 50 of the world's
most exciting, unusual and exotic railway journeys, including North
America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australasia, updated to include
photographs of new trains travelling on the same spectacular
routes. Each journey is accompanied by a route map and is described
in terms of the technical challenges of the construction of the
track as well as the stunning views to be seen while travelling on
the trains. One of the most famous, the Orient Express route from
Paris to Istanbul, is historical and no longer possible as a single
journey but full details of how to trace the route today accompany
the description of the original concept. Other journeys are
included because of the exciting countryside they pass through,
such as the spectacular railways in the Canadian Rockies, or the
challenging nature of the route, such as India's Darjeeling
Himalayan Railways, or the Indian Pacific which runs across
Australia from Perth to Sydney. The World's Great Rail Journeys is
perfect for all railway enthusiasts, whether actual or armchair
travellers.
