Travels to China's Extremes. Liam D'Arcy Brown set out to travel to the four corners of the People's Republic in an attempt to reconcile modern China's seemingly irreconcilable extremes.
His 10,000 mile journey took him from an isolated fishing community in the East China Sea, a 'steamy' tropical holiday resort on Hainan Island and a rebellious Muslim city on the Silk Road to a primitive riverside village in remote Manchuria. Along the way, he discovered many surprising aspects to life in China that the wider world seldom glimpses.
'D'Arcy Brown proves himself to be an intrepid traveller as he goes by train, bus, motorbike and foot where few Westerners have gone before. Into his travelogue he weaves some of the history of China, and he turns out to be a very good historian.... His debut is a moving and chilling book.' The Times.
