5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, 27 May 2009
By Laszlo Wagner (Hungary) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I travelled around Taiwan armed with both this book and the latest edition of Lonely Planet.
Both were very good, but if I had to choose one, it would be the Rough Guide. I found it just as good for practical info, but it is much more detailed, covering activities like hiking, and in general exploring off the beaten track, in far greater detail.
It also has excellent, insightful and up to date background info on various interesting subjects, such as religious life and aboriginals.
Can't recommend it highly enough - and if you still need convincing, see the reviews on Amazon's US site, too!

1.0 out of 5 stars lousy index, 25 April 2009
As a first-time visitor armed only with Rough Guide to Taiwan, I found this book maddening. It contains many thousands of relevant and interesting facts and no doubt loads of useful guidance; it did not seem inaccurate and is attractively presented. But if you want to actually find any piece of information you had happened across you needed a really good photographic memory, because the index is lousy. So lousy that I was trying to find how to get to the main Taipei airport from central Taipei and basically had to give up and resort to other methods such as finding someone who spoke English to advise me. The maps are similarly inadequate: the ones we do get are fine, but if you want to zoom out a bit to see somewhere in context you need Google to help you. Oh dear.
