本书以彩色图片和文字相结合的形式,向读者一一展现了嘉定的由来和历史、文化背景、名胜古迹、节庆活动、发展及未来等。
嘉定地处上海市西北部,是上海通往“长三角”经济腹地的重要门户,公元1218年南宋时期正式建县,有近800年的历史。嘉定素有“教化嘉定”之美誉,今有“汽车嘉定”之称,又有“田园嘉定”之丽质。嘉定孔庙、上海中国科举博物馆、宋代法华塔、明代园林秋霞圃等古迹展示了古城嘉定的深厚底蕴;南翔老街、古猗园、云翔寺和中国名点南翔小笼述说着千年古镇南翔的历史遗风;国家非物质文化遗产嘉定竹刻、传统工艺黄草编织展现了嘉定独具特色的文化内涵。人们可在上海国际赛车场内零距离体验汽车文化的疾速时尚,在上海大众汽车工业游和汽车博物馆内畅游车世界,在马陆葡萄艺术村、华亭人家毛桥村、外冈腊梅园感受江南乡村的惬意与恬静。
嘉定每年都吸引了来自全国乃至世界各地的游客前来观看国际顶级赛事,感受都市田园风貌,探寻中国传统文化。因此,我们特邀来自美国、在亚洲有多年生活经历的自由撰稿人Kate Baker编写《Jiading—Centuries of History, Decades of Change》一书,意在通过外国人的视角,将嘉定从外国人感兴趣的角度进行系统性的介绍,并编写相关信息,以满足广大海内外英文阅读者对嘉定旅游信息和资料的需求。
