What are the best books covering Chinese history?

Let's say I want to have a comprehensive understanding of Chinese history. Not just political events, but the development of culture and such too.

What do I need to read, and in what order?

Cambridge History of China is supposed to be the definitive version from what I know. It's super large and academic with usually one book political history and one book everything else for a period and it covers the entire history of China. I've not read them myself but I have heard very good things about it, too bad it's expensive as fuck.
