Riding the Iron Rooster by train through China
The popular travel-writer's itinerary calls for departure by rail from London and a series of hook-ups that lead him to China. To do this, he becomes a temporary member of a tour party that elicits his customary witty observations. Once in China, he strikes out on his own, and provides a portrait of China after the Cultural Revolution.

- "Vowing to arrive in China without jet lag, Paul Theroux joins a tour that makes its way by rail from London to Mongolia. He recounts his train journey through inner Mongolia, Peking and Shanghai, and discovers that in some ways China is changing radically whilst in others it is still as ancient as its ruins and just as bound by tradition."@en
- "During a year-long journey through China, Theroux travelled on forty trains. He gives a portrait of China after the Cultural Revolution, from the wastelands of the Gobi Desert to the urban areas of Shanghai and Beijing. First published in 1988."@en
