Discover the China beyond the postcard images.
For readers overseas, China is often seen as an ancient civilization. But there is another China—one of record-breaking bridges, futuristic skyscrapers, and bold architectural experiments. China on the Map: China's New Landmarks opens a window onto that side of the country.
Through vivid photography and concise English text, this book profiles dozens of contemporary landmarks that define modern China. You'll tour:

Beijing's Daxing International Airport (the "starfish") and the 798 Art Zone
-
Shanghai's skyline from the Bund to Lujiazui
-
The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the world's longest sea-crossing bridge
-
The Three Gorges Dam and Xichang Satellite Launch Center
