5.0 out of 5 stars easily the best low down on the city, 29 Oct 2000
By A Customer
I used this book on a recent trip and found it excellent, far superior to the books others were using, which all seeemd to copy each other. It was written with vim and style and constantly directed me to the best restaurants and sights, often places that only locals seemes to know about. The nightlife reviews were paerticularly extensive, and if it wasn't for this book I should never have discovered the BusBar or the Scream Club. Thoroughly recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars Can be useful but it takes art and time to master this guide. , 12 April 2009
By Sun Wukong (Portugal) - See all my reviews
For my experience of traveling it's not easy to build a good guide and if you add the fact that this guide is to be used in a country like China and that sometimes it's not only for us to understand but for the Chinese to understand while we are lost or need to find a place, that makes it even more challenging. I think the main things in this guide that can be improved are regarding to the locations - streets of the restaurants, hotels etc. should be listed also in Chinese not just the name of the place - that if you are traveling by taxi can be very handy. Also a beter way to reference the places in the maps should be used because the way that is presented in the guide is not in my opinion the more clear. I think if you are going for one week in Beijing you get the way of working with this guide but if you are just for a short visit can be a bit frustrating until you get to understand the "philosophy" behind this book. Also I noticed that some subway stations that lead to the olympic stadium are not correct... maybe they changed after the olympics?! I would look carefully to other guides before I buy this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst guidebook, 17 Mar 2009
This is by far the worst guidebook I have ever tried. It was completely useless in getting me from A to B in Beijing. The maps are spread randomly around in the book, but the main thing is that there are no references to maps in the text. So when you for instance read about a restaurant you have to spend the better part of the morning searching for the location. Even when you find directions they are often dead wrong. I ended up using a Lonely Planet from 2005 which tells alot.
