Hi! Im a long time DM, albeit a rusty one, of games like DnD and I am just DYING to play some sort of game of PF2 set in Tian Xia (I've recently discovered a love of Xianxia and Wuxia content). The setting seems so rich and varied with a ton of untapped potential (please give it the Mwangi Expanse treatment!).
I've gotten hold of the Dragon Empires Primer and Gazetteer (the primer is sadly redundant) and I was wondering which of the adventure paths would be a good place to mine for information about making adventures in the Dragon Empires? I have no interest in actually playing the adventures themselves I just want a decent amount of information to help me make the setting work and have some life to it. It seems like Jade Regent 4-6 would be a good start as well as Fist of the Ruby Phoenix but I'm not quite ready to drop money on books that aren't going to give me setting information. Im new to the AP system so I am not sure how much content is in any given book.
What would you suggest?

it depends on what you are looking for;
JR book 4 has a little info about Hongal, and Articles about the Kami and the various Ninja clans.
JR book 5 has a lot of info on Minkai, the entire book takes place there, and it includes an in depth article.
JR book 6 is mostly focused on Kasai, the capital of Minkai.
all in all these books are a good place for information about Minkai, but wont help you much with regards to adventures in the rest of the continent.

JR book 4 about Hongal is really making me wish for update. Not because its really good but because "Umm... Is this because I don't know much about Mongolia, or is Hongol depicted here as basically just combination of China and Japan?"
There is lot of weirdness in jade regent :'D
