Praise for the book:
'A uniquely enterprising and detailed guide, full of new and fascinating things' Colin Thubron, author of Shadows of the Silk Road.
'Intelligently written and beautifully illustrated, China: Museums takes much of the frustration out of exploring the mainland's treasures' Clifford Coonan, South China Morning Post
'This unique guide provides an insight into more than 200 museums, concentrating largely on the lesser-known destinations and not simply limited to art and history. Also included are museums of architecture, music, politics, technology, military history and science. Intelligently written and beautifully illustrated, this book could form the foundation of an extraordinary trip to China' Clover Stroud, The Telegraph
