Yue You Yue Jing Cai (Guangdong tour) (PR China) (set)
Heavy book inside a heavy, glossy cardboard cover–the unit weighing about one kilo. All text inside the book is in Chinese, with the occasional website in western letters. Why websites? Because each of the 30 main pages (there are more) includes a postcard with pre-printed postage, showing a visitor attraction somewhere in Guangdong Province. Many of these pages also have what look like entry vouchers and descriptions. This is really outstanding, unique, and well worth the price. Grade: 1
