Reader comments
The archaeological experience of the author Mr. Huang Wenbi is so admirable. He has visited Xinjiang many times and made great contributions to Chinese archeology. I feel that this book is not only an academic work, but also a precious exploration of history and culture. It makes me feel the hardship and persistence of archaeologists. It also made me understand that we should pay more attention to and protect historical and cultural heritage.
