About this audiobook
This is a book combo with the following topics:
Ancient China: It’s hard to cover all of China’s vast history in a short book, but for the sake of leaving out details, we will still give it a try. In this guide, you will be able to learn more about the most important turning events, eras, dynasties, leaders, wars, and cultural aspects of ancient China. Ancient China has different historic periods. The first we will talk about in this book is the Xia Dynasty. And after that, others will be dealt with, as they were the ages that followed that. Then we will discuss the Shang and Zhou dynasty. Enjoy!
Portuguese Macau: Macau is known as the Las Vegas of China. It attracts many tourists every year, and it has a unique set of laws and history behind it. How did it become this way? Well, one of the reasons is that it used to be part of the Portuguese Empire. We have probably all heard about the British in China, the Opium Wars, and the tea export, but you might not have heard about the Portuguese settlers who went there. Macau still shows signs of Portuguese influence, even when you go there to visit. So, let’s take a look at what happened and how the area evolved into what it is today.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5There are so many aspects I liked about this book, but I can only write so much. This is one of the absolute best books I have found, and that is why I am taking a small minute to write a review about it. I managed to understand everything plainly, not only because the storyteller pronounced words very well, but also since the information in it consisted of new things to be learned.
