If you're traveling to China, you need this book
The publisher, Lonely Planet, calls this book a "travel survival kit", and they're exactly right.It includes a wealth of useful information, including a brief history of China, a short Mandarin phrase book, advice on things to pack and places to see, a quick course on Chinese culture, and lots of great information (including maps, of course) for practically any place you might visit.I used this book constantly during my trip, and would have been lost (literally and figuratively) without it.It seemed to be standard issue for the travelers I encountered.Even some of the locals were impressed with "inside" information I found in it, such as the restaurant and nightclub recommendations.I also found the information provided about the historical sites I visited was generally far superior to any English-language descriptions I could find there. In short, don't go to China without it. ... Read more

The writing here is factual, informative and even if one knows a good deal about the subject one can learn something new from it. This is simply an outstanding research resource. ... Read more
