Review
The book [Beijing Show and Go!] is such a clever idea. Rather than try to pronounce and cause frustration, just point at the sentence or word. It's very easy to understand, and I can see how it would be valuable when traveling. --Wendy J Shepard (San Francisco, CA, USA)

4.0 out of 5 stars
Handy & Helpful for the tourist,
By
This review is from: Beijing Show and Go! (Travel Guide, English Edition) (Chinese Edition) (English and Chinese Edition) (Paperback)
Handy booklet showing English words and phrases with corresponding Mandarin in large text so you can just point to the phrase you wish to communicate. (The first phrase is the travel essential "Where is the restroom?"!). Arranged in sections such as transportation, food, health, currency, and other common tourist topics. Shows pictures of currency, explains how to use a phone, includes embassy addresses and maps. Has two pages of how to pronounce common words. There's a huge amount of info in this small booklet that fits easily into your pocket, with a heavy cardstock cover that keeps it from getting beat up and dog-earred.

very useful book,

This review is from: Beijing Show and Go! (Travel Guide, English Edition) (Chinese Edition) (English and Chinese Edition) (Paperback)
This is a great book. The way it is formatted makes it easy to communicate with locals and its size (very small) makes it easy to carry around. It also provides helpful information for getting around such as a map and how to use a local phone. This is definitely a great resource for a trip to Beijing.
