 Decent coverage June 27, 2007

I'm off to work in Beijing in September and before my contract starts a friend and I are planning on seeing 'some' of China. It's great to see Lonely Planet releasing this updated edition when so many other travel series seem content offering two or three year old information.
This 2007 version has bountiful knowledge, mesmerising photos and up to date costs and information throughout China proper and outlying regions.
I've normally been a Rough Guide user but glad to see L.P has improved its staple with this China-logue and now my friend and I are all set (just to about) to take on this sizeable journey.
Recommended, just make sure you have strong shoulders if you decide to take the book with you. It's BIG!
Confidence May 7, 2007
Everything you need to know including how to speak basic Chinese. I will go to China with a feeling of confidence.

Much specific detail which I need when traveling off the bus, i.el. not part of a tour group.

This book has a bit useful general information. The bulk of it is on the differant cities in china. I visited Guilin and Liuzhou and the information on these cities seemed old. It stated the best hotels to stay at and this was inaccurate due to constant building. I would not recomend taking this book with you to china. It is not worth the added weight.
Pretty good in practice November 14, 2006

I spent 2 weeks in China and used this book. Travelled to Beijing, Xian and Luoyang. The only serious negative was the weight of the book. Also, the book did a poor job describing the Asian hotel reservation websites which offer much better deals than orbitz, expedia or [...]. However, no book is perfect and I would use this for my next trip.
