Readers from the city seem to be fond of tomb-themed thrillers such as Gui Chui Deng (Candle in the Tomb) and Dao Mu Ren (Tomb Robber). In the books, protagonists usually come with ample knowledge of archaeology and experience spooky incidents during their adventures.
Xi'an
People here appear to like books that have been adapted into movies. Mo Yan's Red Sorghum and Big Breasts and Wide Hips are also on reading list.
Suzhou
Residents of one of China's top tourist spots enjoy romantic novels set in historical backgrounds, especially in the imperial Qing dynasty (1644-1911). The works mainly focus on concubines and their relationships with emperors.
In the fast-paced city, people prefer to read short plays and stories laced with humor, whenever they get the time.
People here mostly read fantasies involving martial arts heroes. Such books are considered successors of classic martial arts novels that emphasize Chinese chivalry.
