decent info, lousy maps
28 July 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
decent info on sites. very few restaurant listings.
not only are there only 5 or 6 maps in the whole book, but several of them are flat out wrong. especially the sanlitun map. somebody at rough guide doesn't know east from west. we wasted hours looking for places that were on the other side of the street. also, would it kill them to put shopping listings on the maps? why only hotels and food?
overall rough guides are my 2nd option after timeout. but the timeout beijing book is almost 4 years old, thus useless. lonely planet is ok too (much better maps) but many of their listings are terrible (aimed at travelers who buy tourist crap and seek out bad western food everywhere they go). since we've had luck w/rough guide before, and since this beijing book was brand new, we expected good things. very disappointed. their country guides are ok. their city guides are awful.
