 Two of the World's Most Photogenic Cities Come Alive October 30, 2007
Actually, JUST going to Beijing and Shanghai would make for a very good China trip, and what better to bring with you than this superb guide, which, despite its incredible pictures and glossy-paged, quality explanations, is nice and compact and relatively light-weight. Overall, an excellent choice. Good maps, too.

I recently traveled to Beijing and Shanghai and, once again, I found DK's travel guides to have everything I need for a fascinating travel experience. I had the good fortune of meeting up with a friend who has been living in Beijing, and getting a taste of the true local spirit. Amazingly, many of the "local" places we visited were referenced in the DK guide, once I looked for them. I had read the book thoroughly before we left for the trip, and found the information to be highly relavant once I got there. I feel the DK travel guide enriched my trip, and has given me deeper insight on the culture and history of China than I would have without it.
This version, in particular, packs a big punch in a small size. It's thin and lightweight, very easy to take along. The organization is intuitive and logical - useful things such as subway maps and phrase guides are in the back for quick access.
I have traveled through Europe, Asia, and America with these books, and highly recommend them as a planning tool as well as a guide while travelling.

Very informative and accurate. Gave us a "before" overview of what we were going to see and an "after" review of what we had already seen. Up to date information.
Great breadth and depth May 7, 2007

As a repeat visitor, I can tell you this guide is a great outline of the major sites, map locations, and profuse illustrations and photos. The street maps are thorough, too. It is thinner and lighter than the complete DK China Guide, so it travels with you much more easily. As all Eyewitness Guides, this one is brief when reviewing hotels and restaurants, so Frommers, Fodors and others can give you those.

A great guide to Beijing and Shanghai. Thin and light enough to fit in a shoulder bag.
