2.0 out of 5 stars I was so enraged I threw this book away, 12 Oct 2003
There is little point in buying this book, you may as well buy the complete China guide as you will probably enter China through Beijing/Shanghai. It offers little new information with the exception being the Nujiang Valley. It is questionable whether the author left the main cities to visit the remote parts (e.g south east Guizhou and westernSichuan). The maps were generally awful, and you would be completely lost without a compass. Most of the hotels and restaurants no longer exist, or only have names in Chinese characters, whilst the Lonely Planet only lists the pin yin. And if you cannot pronounce standard Mandarin, you're scuppered.
Failing to find a hotel in one city ( a common ocurrence) due to no signs, it finally pushed me over the edge and I threw this book away, much to the amusement of the many onlookers. In addition, the travel times were completely wrong, and reports that roads in western sichuan had been improved proved totally unfounded: they are either non-existant or being rebuilt now, not two years ago.
