### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Quick read about a bygone era
  

*by P***Y on Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2014*

This is an enjoyable book by Bill Porter, better known by his pen name "Red Pine", describing his early 1990s journey along the length of the Yellow River, beginning from where it enters the sea in Shandong to its source in Qinghai.  As the pre-eminent translator of classical Chinese in the disciplines of poetry, Buddhism and philosophy, he brings a vital and fascinating perspective to his travels.  I particularly enjoy how he makes it a point to seek out less well-known, but still highly significant historical sites, of which even many Chinese are unaware.The China he depicts in the book has largely vanished, but for anyone who spent much time in China in the 1990s, it will result in knowing nods of the head.  He writes in an uncomplicated, easy-going style--who knows, he may just be a Western incarnation of Xu Xiake (徐霞客).  The accompanying photos are spectacular, and evoked fond memories of my own journeys to many of the same places during the same period.  His story ends rather abruptly, but the book was well worth the wait.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Fine book about china
  

*by E***D on Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2015*

This is well written and quite interesting.  Porter knows Chinese history and though I've been to China 4 times, after reading about his journey to the source of the yellow river, I want to go again.  Will have to pass this book on to my wife and see if works as well on her.
