3 out of 5 🌟Bookish tour of Beijing
'Beijing: A Symmetrical City' shows architectural schema the South-North axis that was used to create that Chinese city. The book works as both as a guide to the city and its structural design showing each part of the old town with its purpose and layout description.The book is labeled as children but the number of facts and schemas can be overwhelming. Hence, it's not an entertaining title for kids but work for either teenagers or adults to extend their knowledge about Chinese culture or the city of Beijing. 'Beijing' is heavily illustrated by the author Dawu Yu in the traditional style with abundant details. I love the minuteness of each drawing and the immerse feeling they create.
Overall, it's a great book for every Chinophile or architecture enthusiast. The book provides a lot of information and details that you need to be ready for!
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and feelings are my own.
