Beijing (City Guide)


by: Damian Harper, David Eimer
I bought this book for the Olympics and was disappointed. It didn't have the full subway maps updated and the Olympics section was sparse. It needs an update as Beijing is changing rapidly

Frommer's Beijing (Frommer's Complete)


by: Jen Lin-Liu
Out of several books I purchased from Amazon, I found this compact and most informative for touring BJ. It was indispensable on my recent independent travel in BJ, although a few sites described were closed. It would be more helpful if there's a crossed reference between attractions on the maps and their respective pages in the book. Like Lonely Planet's books on China, this book is somewhat political and judgmental on the Chinese Government. I oftened detect an air of disdain and many unnecessary disparaging words unrelated to travel.

    Frommer's China (Frommer's Complete)


    by: Simon Foster, Jen Lin-Liu, Sherisse Pham, Sharon Owyang, Beth Reiber, Lee Wing-sze, Christopher D. Winnan
    I took this travel guide to China in November 2008. I chose it because it because they'd been updated for the Olympics that year. That, as far as I was able to tell, was an outright lie. Non-existent phone numbers, and restaurants that had been closed for 2 or 3 years; no Chinese characters on maps or in place names. Don't use this book to help you plan anything. I certainly won't be choosing Frommer's for any travel guide from now on...
