Details

The China on the Map series uses the map as a carrier to tell stories about China. China’s history, culture, geography and contemporary development are illustrated through the map. Also, electronic A/V books are developed based on their paper counterparts to achieve integrated communication and help readers at home and abroad better understand China.

Beautiful Home outlines China's geography and wildlife resources through three sections -- Beautiful Land, Animal Kingdom and Plants are Friends. The book is rich in content, easy and interesting to follow, and combines professionalism with popularity.
