China Bound!

A dynamic country in constant evolution, China has become a popular tourist destination among curious Westerners. The Beijing 2008 Olympic Games reinforced this trend, and it’s now Shanghai’s turn to be under the spotlight as it prepares for the upcoming World Expo, which will be held in the city from May to October 2010 and is sure to attract visitors from around the world.

Those who set off for the Middle Kingdom without some idea of what awaits may be in for a shock though. How do visitors cope with losing their cultural points of reference in Chinese society? They will want to acquire a basic understanding of the Chinese way of life and its people's customs to minimize their culture shock and make the most of their travels.

Ulysses Travel Guides offers many titles that can help travellers who wish to learn more about the culture, languages, customs, and mentality of a people and a country that are currently undergoing profound changes.

Are you planning a long or short visit to China, whether for business or for pleasure? Are you looking for information on transportation, hotels, restaurants or tourist attractions? Ulysses offers a wide array of guidebooks, picture books and maps to help you plan your trip, to offer as a gift, to dream of China’s splendid landscapes or to recall fond memories of your past travels to this far off land.
