A bit dated by now, but still a fascinating portrait of an ancient Chinese city in transition.

Excellent book on one man's experience in Xi'an, China. I was given this as a gift prior to my year in that town. While the writer lived there a few years prior to my visit, we shared some experiences. Great read if you want to see/understand what China was like.
