useful (2/9 people found this helpful)
I like this guide, which is simple to use. But for serious travelers, this one is less insightful, which should be read along with this book: China's Global Reach: markets, multinationals, and globalization by a Chinese journalist George Zhibin Gu, which offers inside stories about Chinese business and politics.
Beautiful (3/5 people found this helpful)
This is a beautiful book with absolutely stunning pictures and detail. The whole book is so vibrant that I can stare at its pages for hours and really sense the places. Having already visited China this book makes me long for a second trip.
I haven't used this as a travel guide so I can't comment on its accuracy, however for anyone interested in China this is a gorgeous book. If you've already been to China this is wondefully nostalgic. For those who haven't been yet, prepare to feel wistful.

A must for anyone who is interested in China. Wonderful colour photographs, tons of helpful information. This Eyewitness Travel Guide covers every aspect of China, as a place to visit and to study. The only down side is that it is fairly heavy due to it comprehensive contents. But if it means leaving a few pairs of shoes behind to fit this in the luggage then I think its worth it! If funds at present, like me, don't allow you to travel to China then the next best thing is this book, buy it now!
