Voicemap’s China Routes

Posted: August 5th, 2016 | No Comments »

I’ve been meaning to write something about Voicemap for a while…so here we are. Walking tours that you can download on to your mobile telephone or “device”, some are free and some cost a small fee. My own walk retracing the locations of Midnight in Peking and the 1930s city of that book is available (free) – it’s here. I note there are some other China-based walks by people who know their stuff:

Alec Ash (author of the recently published Wish Lanterns) has a stroll through the old hutongs (those that are left anyway) around the Drum and Bell Tower (here);

There’s also a walk – that I can only imagine is excellent – with Katya Knyazeva through Shanghai’s old town (again, probably best to go out and do while it’s still there!)

Hong Kong, Bangkok, Seoul, Singapore, Yokohama and other Asian destinations are also available.
