About this section
China has 34 provincial-level administrative regions, with cities scattered across the landscape—from Xi'an, unchanged in location for three thousand years, to Shenzhen, which has grown into a towering metropolis in just over four decades; from the intricate waterways of the Yangtze River Delta to the oasis islands in the northwestern desert. Each city is like a geological layer, holding the capitals of empires, docks of merchant guilds, factory whistles, and the accents of immigrants.
This section reorganizes this urban map through ten special themed archives: explore the framework of ancient dynasties in "Ancient Capitals and Famous Cities," follow camel bells and caravans along the "Silk Road Cities," witness the daily life along border frontiers in "Frontier Town Charms," or step into "Manufacturing Powerhouses" to hear the continuous roar of Chinese workshops day and night. Choose a city and begin reading China through its streets and alleys.
