Description of the Chinese audiobook: The title of this podcast literally means “Dream of The Red Mansion(audio book)”. The broadcaster speaks in a normal speed with a clear accent. The podcast doesn’t have any background noise. Dream of The Red Mansion is written in classical Chinese, which is used in ancient China. For Chinese learners who want to know the essence of Chinese history and culture it is suggested to learn classical Chinese.  This audiobook will be very difficult for Chinese learners actually, it is recommended to combine reading the novel and listening to this program together to study.

Summary: A good audiobook for anyone who likes literature and Chinese culture, but not only you should have an advanced level in Chinese, but also you should know a lot about classical Chinese. However, I still recommend it to anyone who wants to know the great Chinese culture and history. For Chinese learners you can try it when you start to learn classical Chinese.
