Walking the Beijing Waterways

Often the best way to explore a new city is by foot and Beijing is no exception. Although the city gets a lot of bad press for its high levels of pollution, it also has clear days and a lot of parks and paths to explore. In this book D J Clark introduces five different one-day walks using the myriad of canals, rivers and lakes to guide him away from the traffic and discover areas of the city few visitors get to experience.
