...London Daily Mail's Angus Macpherson, who went in on the first PIA flight, described the New China as "a land of spacious loveliness cultivated down to the last inch, crisscrossed with power lines." To tourists, the most vivid first impression is cleanliness-the result of a Communist Party drive to shame, cajole and organize the people into cleanup squads that left everything shining...

No two of the 550 approximately 300-sq.-ft. patios are the same: the Frederick Bradleys' holds a slender Japanese maple and a jungle of flowers, while the John Hamrens have surfaced theirs with pebbles...
