<strong>Experience</strong> <strong>Vintage</strong> <strong>Shaoxing</strong>: A<br />
<strong>Guidebook</strong> for Travelers is a<br />
completely new concept of how a<br />
guidebook is written.<br />
Whereas most generic guidebooks<br />
are written by first-time travelers to a<br />
destination and focus on the logistics<br />
and attractions, the <strong>Shaoxing</strong><br />
guidebook is completely different.<br />
<strong>Shaoxing</strong>: <strong>Vintage</strong> China
30 experiences ……<br />
Most guidebooks are<br />
developed with a one-sizefits-all<br />
approach. BTI,<br />
using leading academics<br />
and a UNWTO expert,<br />
have looked again at what<br />
is important at the most<br />
basic level – the<br />
experience!<br />
…… not just sightseeing!

<strong>Shaoxing</strong>: <strong>Vintage</strong> China
Other more famous guidebooks tend to<br />
focus on word counts and indexes. While<br />
that may be attractive to a researcher,<br />
visitors have perhaps a week in one area<br />
to experience the destination, not read<br />
about it. This guidebook, at 428 pages, is<br />
not short or wanting in detail, but it is<br />
focused on being an attractive guide, and<br />
keepsake, for all ages.
