«China para hipocondríacos» is José Ovejero's travelogue, published by Punto de Lectura in paperback (349 pages, in Spanish).
José Ovejero recounts his personal itinerary through China in the early 1990s: after studying the rudiments of the language in Nanjing, he travels through the southwest of the country, away from tourist circuits, and accumulates the apprehensions and startles of a hypochondriac traveler until reaching Kunming, near Burma.
The work won the Premio Grandes Viajeros in 1998.
For readers of travel literature interested in a less touristy China and an ironic tone.
