.South West China (Lonely Planet Regional Guides) by: Bradley Mayhew, Thomas Huhti, Karina Miller, Alex English January 01, 2002 There is little point in buying this book, you may as well buy the complete China guide as you will probably enter China through Beijing/Shanghai. It offers little new information with the exception being the Nujiang Valley. It is questionable whether the author left the main cities to visit the remote parts (e.g south east Guizhou and westernSichuan). The maps were generally awful, and you would be completely lost without a compass. Most of the hotels and restaurants no longer exist, or only have names in Chinese characters, whilst the Lonely Planet only lists the pin yin.

.China (Lonely Planet Country Guide) by: Damian Harper, Stephen Fallon, Katja Gaskell, Julie Grundvig, Carolyn Heller, Thomas Huhti, Bradley Mayhew, Christopher Pitts, Lonely Planet Publications Ltd May 01, 2005 I normally swear by Lonely Planet guidebooks and didn't think twice about buying the China guide. However, I found that some of the practical information (which is normally so reliable in Lonely Planet guides) was thin on the ground as well as sometimes misleading (there was a subway stop on the Beijing map which didn't exist and some of the phone numbers for hostels in Xi'an were incorrect). What disappointed me the most however was that a lot of the sights descriptions /background info have clearly been copied from signs displaying onsite. I found that I had to take a tour guide on several occasions to get a less superficial overview of the place I was visiting. A big disappointment then although basic info is covered and will allow you to get ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on China (Lonely Planet Country Guide) |
