What reading level is China book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The porcelain tower of Nanking has disappeared, but the bronze summit, fifteen feet in diameter, remains on its site.
67 CHINA Inside the city walls the streets are narrow and sometimes filthy. Smells abound, but Chinese are apparently oblivious to what we consider offensive smells ; and from a hygienic point of view it is certain that foul smells are better than sewer-gas, which, though it cannot be characterized as dirt, is decidedly matter in the wrong place.
Peking is unlike any of the sout...hern cities. Its streets are wide, and the mixture of peoples from the north gives variety and colour to the street scenes.
Here one meets long strings of laden camels bearing their burdens from JNIongolia, and issuing grumbling protests as they follow the bell of their leader.
Peking carts with richly ornamented wheels but no springs ply over the raised centre of the broad but filthy streets, the mud of winter and tlie dust of summer assuaging the jolting of the picturesque but vmcomfortable vehicles.
