Scenic Spots Stories (English-Chinese Edition): Legends Behind 20+ Famous Sites Across China

From the Forbidden City‘s Concubine Zhen Well and the Great Wall’s Looking-toward-Beijing Stone to Dunhuang‘s Hidden Library Cave, the Terracotta Army and West Lake’s Su Causeway — 20+ Sites and Their Stories in Cartoons
This book tells the stories behind more than 20 famous sites in China—not as a travel guide, but as a collection of legends and tales that explain why these places matter to Chinese people. You find out why there is a well called Concubine Zhen‘s Well inside the Forbidden City, what happened at the Looking-toward-Beijing Stone on the Great Wall, how the hidden library cave at Dunhuang was discovered, and why the Terracotta Army was buried underground for two thousand years. Each story is told in Chinese and English with cartoon illustrations, so you can follow along even if you are still learning the language. If you want to understand the legends behind China’s most famous landmarks—rather than read a travel guide or a dry history book—this is it.
