5.0 out of 5 stars The Best, 25 Jun 2006

By	Russell A. Somerville "Roamin Scot" (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the best book for going to somewhere like china.

I was there travelling for over a month and was the best guide around by far. Some of my companions had the Lonely Planet guide but we found that simply provided lists of hotels restaurants etc and did not provide any of the handy information you need when travelling in a place like China. It was full of useful information for everywhere we went. The directory type information was not as in depth as the lonely planet guide but was more than enough to get by.

Quite simply, a travel bible for China!

4.0 out of 5 stars Overall good, but not faultless, 20 Jun 2007

By	wozinaname - See all my reviews

The guide was accurate and worth carrying around, but the maps were weak; low in detail and with place and street names only in English. This made them limited in usefulness when asking directions as most Chinese people can only read their native language. Cab drivers would just shrug their shoulders when shown a particular point on a map. The guide is also not as culturally savvy as Time Out guides or as to the point as DK travel guides I have used in the past. It's obviously written by early 20 somethings perceiving a place from the outside. My native Chinese friends ridiculed some of the cultural hints as being childish and irrelevant.

Overall I was pleased by this guide, just be aware of its limitations.
