In 1986, Paul Theroux decided to embark on a journey to China during his sabbatical year, convinced that the only way to know such a vast country was to explore it on foot. Thus, he set out to travel by train, crossing thousands of kilometers from Mongolia to Beijing, Shanghai, Canton, and the interior of the country. The result is a vibrant and detailed account that captures the essence of China, far from clichés and folklore, revealing its deepest reality through Theroux's eyes.
