Chung Wah ChowA big xièxiè to my dear friend Cui Qun, com-missioning editor of Lonely Planet’s domestic Chinese guide Fújiàn, for her invaluable in-sider knowledge of the region and for putting me up in her nice home in Amoy. My biggest thank you, as always, goes to my parents and to my beloved Haider Kikabhoy for all your love, help and inspiration.

Megan EavesBig thanks to Liu Weijia and Li Xiaojian for their Qīnghǎi advice, Wu Liang for her help on Yùshù, the great meal and lifelong friendship, and the lovely people of Qīnghǎi I met along the way. David, Nóirín and Tom, thanks for supporting me with a loose rein; and my darling husband, Bill, for his unrelenting endurance of my China obsession.

David EimerSpecial gratitude goes to Annie and Angelina in Chóngqìng and Emi and Joy in Yúnnán. Thanks to Damian Harper for his support and patience, as well as to Megan Eaves and Julie Sheridan at Lonely Planet. As ever, thanks to the many people who provided tips along the way, whether knowingly or unwittingly.

Tienlon HoThanks so much to Damian, Megan, Dianne, Daniel and the Lonely Planet team. Thank you Drolma (Amelia) Koknor, Laura Zhou, Martin Ding, Cao Lijuan, Andy Danzhen, Kris Rubesh, Luoqing Lan, Kevin Liu, Angie Wong, Zhong-qiang Wu, Lang Ge, Chen Shifu, Klaus Wang, and Kieran Fitzgerald for sharing your unique insights. Thank you Fu Qin for your energy, and Ajue Wang for your infinite resourceful-ness. Thank you 高文慧 for always seeing, 何坤 for always remembering, and Jon for digging with me.

Robert KellyTania Simonetti, desert flower, big love to you for sharing your knowledge of Islam and for pushing me to read all those books on cave art. Cash Huang, you pulled through in time as I knew you would. Lele and Ping, love you guys for your endless support. Finally, thanks to Megan Eaves who I assume knows what she did.

Shawn LowAs always thanks to the DE, Megan, for stead-ying the China ship. Your knowledge of China

is invaluable. Cheers also to CA, Damian (yet another one done and dusted!). Thanks to the LP crew who are working on this: eds, cartos, BDs etc. I’ve been behind the scenes and know how hard you all work. Thanks also to new friends and old friends on the ground: too numerous to list but I promise to buy you all beers when our paths cross again. Other-wise, we’ll catch up on WeChat!

Emily MatcharThanks to the entire LP team. Thanks to Marie Kobler and Tim Bonebrake for their excellent Lamma suggestions, and to Michael Johnson for his helpful restaurant advice. Thanks to my friends and especially to my husband, Jamin Asay, for being so willing to help me try out restaurants and bars across Hong Kong and Hainan.

Bradley MayhewThanks to Kelsang at the Yeti Hotel in Gyantse for showing me that city’s tourism plans. A big personal thanks to first-rate guide Tenzin Gelek and driver Nordrup, to Big Tenzin and Aja at Highland Tours and to Andre, Alyson and Wanda for their fine company on the road. Cheers to Robert and John for their fine contributions. Love as always to Kelli for doing without me for way too long this year.

Daniel McCrohanThanks to porcelain expert Sue Ainsworth for her help in Jǐngdézhèn, to hat enthusiast Kim Greening for museum tips in Běijīng, and to my dear aunt, Pat Rose, for road-testing my research during her latest trip to China. Thanks too, to Mike Freundlich and Jessica Farmer for inspiration in Húnán and to my colleague David Eimer for all his work on the Běijīng chapter. As ever, all my love to Taotao and the kids (我爱你们), and to all my family back in the UK.

Phillip TangLa neta, gracias gracias gracias to Ernesto and Vek for keeping home, home while I was on the other side of the world. To Lisa, Geraldine, Anna and Waimei for keeping me sane from afar with the magic of the right words (and emoji) at the right time. Thanks to the one French, Chilean, German, three Australian and many Chinese travellers I met on the Silk Road who made me feel less like a camel-less nomad.
