Decent book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book has a few more useful pieces of information that Lonely Planet may not have but I found the LP format to be better laid out. This book does better than LP in the respect of including the Chinese characters on the city maps and also for destinations, hotels, addresses, etc.
3rd edition a BIG improvement
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Some of the previous reviews are about the 2nd edition which was weak. The 3rd edition appears to be a significant rewrite, and is much better. All the salient info is there, from an author who obviously has not only "been there" but understands the nuances of Chinese culture. Can't wait for the 4th edition!
Easy overview
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book gives you an easy overview over attractions and the maps are quite fullfilling. Really a good guide book. It could just be me, but I think there is to much info on hotels and restaurants. I'm normally the person to think "there is a lot of people in that restaurant we just passed - Lets go eat there". Regarding hotels I tend to book from home at the internet and just need the star rating, the website and "tips on how to get the best rate". But if you flip through the hotel and restaurant pages, everything looks to be squeezed in and if you need it - then you REALLY need it - I guess that I would be really angry, if I ended up stranded in Shanghai without a good hotel listing ;-) So the only negative I have is the quality of the paper. I think you will wear the book down if you go a lot to Shanghai. Ole, Denmark
