Really is a pocket guide
19 May 2000
Format:Paperback
As the title implies, it can fit in your pocket. However, as such, it doesn't contain much information. I'd stick with the bigger guide to all of China or to the cityguide, which is an extract of Shanghai and Suzhou from the main guide to all of China.

Very Out of Date and Incomplete
14 Jun 2001
Format:Paperback
I spent two months in Shanghai this year and found this book to be totally out of date and full of erroneous and incomplete information. Virtually every phone number was wrong (I called the number for the Shanghai Acrobats and it was someone's home, I went to the location listed and it was a supermarket; I called every travel agency listed to arrange for travel tickets and all were wrong as well), information such as extending a tourist visa was incomplete, information about the easy to use subway was lacking. Many fun things to do are not mentioned (try seeing the Shanghai Sharks if you enjoy basketball or visit Circus World) and it never mentions many of the fabulous local restaurants but instead focuses on tourist and western style restaurants. It reports that shopping in not good, but I found the shopping to be excellent if you know where to go and this book is no help at all. Bottom line, wait until it is updated.
