Reader comments
The author's writing style is concise and clear, and the writing is smooth and easy to read. Moreover, the characters' behaviors in the book are very vivid, especially the introduction to the Jinshui Bridge in front of Tiananmen Square, which gave me a deeper understanding of the tradition of ancient Chinese architecture. I think this book is worth reading and I recommend it to you!
