• Introduction: Tourism, Travel Culture, and the Making of the Chinese National Space1. Travel as a Business: The Making of Modern Chinese Tourism2. Travel as Narratives: Producing Quanguo through Travel Print Media3. "Head to the Northwest": Modern China's Movement Westward4. Facilitating the Exodus: Wartime Travel and the Southwest5. Between Empire and Nation-State:: Tourism and Travel in Manchuria and Taiwan, 1912–1949Conclusion: Legacies of Republican-Era Tourism and Travel Culture

Touring China persuasively shows how travel writing in the Republican era brought remote parts of China, previously seen as something of a barbarian wilderness, into national history and geography in ways that show remarkable continuities with the PRC's post-1989 tourism canon. In this sense, the book has unearthed a "missing link" between imperial and post-socialist travel.(The China Quarterly)
