Shanghai Story Walks: “Step back into Old Shanghai with these scenic and history-laden walks and re-live the opulent lives of its elite. The hopes and dreams of taipans, politicians, actors, spies and dreamers can still be seen in the city’s landmarks, grand, gracious and gaudy, as our guide, Yvette Ho Madany, brings the lost city back to life.”
I Sailed with Chinese Pirates: “It is 1930 and piracy is rampant on the South China seas. Murderous bands of cutthroats roam the Pearl River Delta and coastal shipping routes, an ever-present menace to the trade of Hong Kong and beyond. Globetrotting journalist Aleko E. Lilius sets out to infiltrate these mysterious pirate gangs and is eventually taken into the confidence of South China’s notorious pirate queen, Lai Choi San. Lilius lives, eats, sleeps and of course sails with the pirates, witnessing their harrowing misdeeds and delivering a sensational, rollicking tale of adventure.”
