Product Description
Simon Winchester (famed journalist): Wonderfulthis (map) has made my day. Were proud to offer this fine series of guides from the only English language travel publisher based in China. Each book is perfect for the reader who demands not only details of the practical (where to stay, what to eat, and more) but also of the magical (why their destination is what it is). Odyssey fans tend to be adventurous travelers with a literary bent. If youre lucky enough to find an Odyssey guide to where youre going, grab it!National Geographic Traveler

About The Author
Captain Richard Hayman has sailed on the Yangzi River for twenty years including aboard ships chartered by Lindblad Travel and as Director of Operations for Victoria Cruises. He lives in New York. Cartographer Mark Stroud of Moon Street Cartography has been producing maps for over ten years. He is based in Durango, Colorado where, when not working, he is out climbing the mountains or flying small aircraft. Photographer Wong How Man is founder and President of The China Exploration and Research Society. The CERS has a history that has important ties to the Yangzi River. The Society was founded in 1986, following Wong How Man's Yangzi expedition for National Geographic between 1985 and 1986. During that expedition, Wong defined a new source of the Yangzi River.

Reader Reviews
Note that the Editorial Review does not apply to this map and should be ignored. While Odyssey distributes the map, they had no hand in the compilation or publishing of the map. The map was actually done by Airphoto International, in conjunction with the China Exploration & Research Society. On one side is a map of the entire Yangzi River, with snippets of information noted along the route. A 7 x 9.5 inch inset map shows the Three Gorges area from Fengile to Yichang and notes the location/names of gorges and the twelve peaks of Wu Gorge. The reverse side of the map has a map showing the River from Chongqing to Yichange, including the Three Gorges. This map shows the locations of historic sites, gorges, and peaks plus snippets of information notated on the map. Inset maps are included for Shanghai, Wuhan, and Chongqing, along with several color photos, a satellite image, and descriptive text. Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
