 Everything you ever needed in a travel book July 5, 1998
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book is a must-have, must-buy if you are planning a trip to China. If you don't speak Chinese, the book is terrific. It contains all of the commonly used phrases for every situation that you could possibly encounter in China. In addition, it has extraordinarily detailed directions on how to travel within the country. Almost every tourist you will meet has a Lonely Planet in hand. It is true that there are no equivalents of this book within China and the people that I have met there think that the book is very thorough. In general, most people in China do not get to travel a great deal so there are not a lot of travel books in China. I would recommend all Lonely Planet books for travel throughout Asia.
Best Coverage of Yunnan and Lijiang June 29, 1998

Of the major guidebooks, Lonely Planet has the best coverage of Yunnan, and of the Lijiang area -- which is fast becoming one of the hottest destinations in Asia.
Must have for any trip to China! June 9, 1998
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This little red book is THE travel guide to have for independent travelers to China! It is well researched, the maps are terrific (better than most maps you can get in China) and the inaccuracies are minor, considering how fast the country is changing. The Chinese I met were impressed by the amount and quality of the information in this book ... they don't seem to have books of similar parallel.

Superbly written and informative. A good background before anyone goes on a trip to China and certainly shouldn't leave without it. Still, a more regular update would make it perfect!
Best Travel Companion in China! March 22, 1998
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This travel guide helped me when I traveled to China last summer. It included all the essential information that I needed each time I traveled to a new city. What I liked about it was that it listed places to visit and stay according to experiences from previous travelers and thus provided an excellent resource in making decisions. I recommend that anyone travelling to China MUST buy this book.
