Annotation
The mighty Yangtze splits China in two, between the wheatgrowing North and the rice-growing South; almost 500 million people leve and work along its banks. In this compelling book, award-winning writer Simon Winchester and his plucky companion Lily travel upstream all the way from bustling cosmopolitan Shanghai to Tibet, deeper and deeper into almost inacessible territory and the hidden recesses of early Chinese history.
