Reader comments
This book is very good! Mr. Lin Huiyin explained the history and characteristics of Chinese architecture in a simple and easy-to-understand way. I particularly liked the part where she described different architectural styles. However, I didn't like some of the terminology in the book, which seemed a bit cryptic. But overall, this is a good book worth reading, especially for those who want to understand Chinese architecture.
