Lonely Planet Hong Kong Encounter (Lonely Planet Encounter Series) (Best Of)
Steve Fallon

Lonely Planet, 2007

Good maps

For my week in Hong Kong, I used Frommer's guide as my main guide, but took this as a secondary guide because of its maps. It has very good local area maps for the neighborhoods it covers, showing sights, hotels, restaurants, and shops. I found it most useful for locating shops and sights. ...

Fodor's Beijing, 1st Edition (Fodor's Gold Guides)
Fodor's

Fodor's, 2007

Pretty Good.

I'm leaving for Beijing this Thursday, May 17, 07, and prior to having this book, I was worried about names, cities, map, language, and pretty much EVERYTHING. Having the book has calmed me, there's great suggestions, events, places to see, walk, bike, and drive to. There's English names, there's ...
  
  











  



  
Frommer's China (Frommer's Complete)
Jen Lin-Liu, Dinny McMahon, ...

Frommer's, 2006

A userful guide with some shortcomings

To begin with, readers should know that this guide was severly pared down, which explains why there are so few budget hotels and budget restaurants listed. Many section writers knew plenty of cheaper hotels and restaurants, but due to space limitations the decision was made by the publisher to list ...
  
  











  



  
Insight City Guide Beijing (Insight City Guides (Book & Restaruant Guide))
Brian Bell

Insight Guides, 2005

An good alternative to Lonely Planet

Normally, I strictly stick to Lonely Planet guidebooks when buying for my travels, but for my recent trip to Beijing, I made an impulse decision to buy this Insight Guide to accompany the LP City guide I had already purchased. I was pleasantly surprised at just how good the Insight guide was. ...

Berlitz Cantonese Chinese: Travel Pack (Berlitz Travel Packs)
Inc. Berlitz International

Berlitz Guides, 2003

Simply not up to par with past Berlitz publications.

I was extremely dissappointed in Berlitz's new series of phrasebooks. I have been collecting Berlitz phrasebooks for years in every language available, and have always found Berlitz products to be of great quality. Yet the recent changes, such as the elimination of tonal indications and textual ...
  
  











  



  
Fodor's China, 5th Edition (Fodor's Gold Guides)
Fodor's

Fodor's, 2007

Experience the Olympic buzz around Beijing, take a slow boat through the spectacular Three Gorges, or soak up the surreal landscape of Everest Base Camp: it’s no wonder that China’s tourism market is a booming $70 billion industry and growing as the Olympics near. With more maps, a language guide, and in-depth illustrated features on local food, culture, and customs, our savvy ...
  
  











  



  
National Geographic Traveler: China, 2d Ed. (National Geographic Traveler)
Damian Harper

National Geographic, 2007

China traveler

I haven't had time to read and use the whole book. What I have read and used is very good. I haven't checked out the hotel & restaurant information because I didn't need it. Some of the photos were good for a basis understanding.

Death by Lonely Planet

+ LOnely planet China book
+ China travel help

An exceptional travel guide. Do not count on the prices being accurate but the big picture is spot on. There are two problems with the Lonely Planet guide: it is too heavy for a traveler; it is on the banned books list in China (but my copy was not taken in my last two trips). Death by ...
  
  











  



  
Time Out Hong Kong: Macau and Guangzhou (Time Out Guides)
Time Out

Time Out, 2007

Good book, nice layout.

Good book, easy to follow and a ton of info. I'd buy it again. Pros: has a good, easy to locate layout. Info seemed accurate if you assume that historical sights never seem to disappear but I rarely use guidebooks for restaurant/food/bar recommendations specifically but typically go by local ...
