About this product

Product Information

Winner of the Hawthornden Prize and the Thomas Cook Travel Book Award. Having learned Mandarin, and travelling alone by foot, bicycle and train, Colin Thubron set off on a 10,000 mile journey from Beijing to the borders of Burma. He travelled through the wind-swept wastes of the Gobi desert and finished at the far end of the Great Wall. What Thubron reveals is an astonishing diversity, a land whose still unmeasured resources strain to meet an awesome demand, and an ancient people still reeling from the devastation of the Cultural Revolution.

    Communication was good and the book was dispatched promptly arriving on one of the two days indicated in the estimated delivery (not sure which one). It had rained heavily for some of the time that the book was in our letter box and the paperback book mailing envelope was a little damp so I was worried that the book would be wet. However, the inside of the envelope was lined with a thin film of plastic and so the book was completely dry. Thank you for taking that extra care with the packaging.

    The item arrived well on time, with the padded satchel the magazines were posted in being nicely taped to conform with the shape of the contents, so preventing any unnecessary jogging in transit, and minimising the chance of any damage, such as covers becoming detached. Nothing suffered any damage in transit, and all was perfectly as described. Excellent!
