An engaging and visually stunning look at some of Asian major cities. Cityscapes draw in the reader with facts about the iconic buildings that help to shape each city's unique identity.

The cities of Asia covered in the book are Beijing, China; Tokyo, Japan; Jakarta, Indonesia; Delhi, India; Seoul, South Korea; Tehran, Iran; Hanoi, Vietnam; Dubai, United Arab Emirates; Bangkok, Thailand and Hong Kong, China as well as Islamabad, Pakistan; Kathmandu, Nepal; Singapore City, Singapore; Shanghai, China; Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and Dhaka, Bangladesh.
'Asia' by Liz Gogerly is another very good book in the Cities Of The World series, published by Franklin Watts. Each book in the series explains the History, Food, Things to Do and Places to Go of a handful of cities from each continent. I like that the Skyline of each city is pictured, so readers can see what the city looks like. This book is about Asia, a continent that claims about 60% of the world's population.
A great book that I recommend to ANYONE of ANY age who likes learning about countries and cultures.
