Jilin is rich in tourism resources, and there are many little-known stories in the mountains and forests. Recently, Jilin: Land of Mystery , an English book about the story of Jilin cultural tourism , was published at the Commercial Press , showing the beauty and culture of Jilin to readers around the world.
Jilin: Land of Mystery is an English book jointly created and published by the Department of Culture and Tourism of Jilin Province and the Commercial Press, which tells the story of China in authentic English, explores the hinterland of Northeast China from an international perspective, leads international readers to go deep into the secret place, and excavates the cultural treasures hidden in the land of Jilin from six aspects: geographical environment, natural ecology, historical sites, ethnic customs, food and drink, and industrial imprints.
Sam Davies, from the UK, the book's contributor, has traveled to Jilin three times, the first two times to write the book, and the third time to Jilin, saying: "I think this is the best ski resort in China, there is no one." Hatty Liu, an author from Canada, said of writing the book that he wanted to return to Jilin again, visit lesser-known places, and taste more Jilin cuisine.
2022 is the 125th anniversary of the establishment of the Commercial Press, and "Journey to the Secret Place" is also the first book launched by the museum in the annual celebration, which has been included in the "China Bookshelf" project and the "List of Good Books in The Middle Edition" of China Publishing Group. Gu Qing, secretary of the party committee and executive director of the Commercial Press, has a high evaluation of this book: "This book is far more than a tourist manual, it uses such a beautiful and condensed language to write Jilin, the text is beautiful, the pictures are exquisite, it is a rare book, I hope that such a book can continue to be done province by province." ”
