Summary
National Public Radio’s Beijing correspondent Rob Gifford recounts his travels along Route 312, the Chinese Mother Road, the longest route in the world’s most populous nation. Based on his successful NPR radio series, China Road draws on Gifford’s twenty years of observing firsthand this rapidly transforming country, as he travels east to west, from Shanghai to China’s border with Kazakhstan. As he takes the reader on this journey, he will also take us through China’s past and present while he tries to make sense of this complex nation’s potential future.

I really enjoyed this book. I learned a lot about China and its history and people. I wish I could remember everything I heard, but the book has so much information I will probably have to listen to it again sometime in the future as a refresher. I recommend this book to anyone interested in China.

I loved this book. I learned so much about modern China. The author did a good job of showing both the good and the bad. And Simon Vance is a great reader. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in China or travel stories.
