Places of Historic Interest and Scenic Beauty in Xinjiang, China (Bilingual Edition): A Visual Guide

From the Ancient Town of Gaochang and Beiting Protectorate to Kanas Lake, Bayanbulak Grassland and the Kizil Caves — Bilingual Chinese-English, Not a Travel Guide
This bilingual Chinese-English guide brings together ten landmarks that together span the range of Xinjiang‘s landscape and history: the ancient town of Gaochang, the Beiting Protectorate, the Hami Muslim Kings’ Mausoleum, Kanas Lake, Bayanbulak Grassland, the Altun Mountain Nature Reserve, the Kizil Thousand-Buddha Caves, the Id Kah Mosque, the karez irrigation system, and the Bagua City of Tekes. Each entry presents the site in both Chinese and English, with photographs, so readers can move between historical ruins and natural scenery within a single volume. If you want a readable, image-rich introduction to Xinjiang’s historic and scenic sites—rather than a travel guide with routes and listings—this is it.
