China Bite by Bite

This is a book about China and the Chinese of the third millennium, as well as Chinese tea, cuisine, Beijing opera, history, culture, and places worth seeing, about ancient and modern customs and traditions, peculiarities of doing business, about medicine, and Chinese beauty standards. The book provides an insider’s view of a professional sinologist who has been living and working in China for several years and wants to open a new, unusual and interesting perspective for readers behind the Great Wall. Y. Iliakhin provides an opportunity to taste the dish bite by bite – as they do in Tainxia.
