I moved to Beijing from the USA and was looking everywhere for a great map. This is the best map by far... bar none. If you need a map that shows tourist areas, business centers, driving directions, etc.... this is the most comprehensive one available. Plus, it is in English!

Of all the maps we have used during our trip to Beijing this has been the most useful. It is very detailed, covers most parts of the city, outlines the subway system, is durable and folds up nicely for carying.

I was looking for a map aimed at English-speakers, but with enough characters to be useful. [A map with only pinyin, but no characters, is pretty useless for traveling in China.] This map mostly fit the bill. It contains two maps, a 1:60,000 scale map of Beijing, and a 1:15,000 scale map of the inner Beijing (not even including the entire third ring). [Plus a useless 1:500,000 scale map of the greater Beijing.] The larger map contains almost no characters, except the major streets. I would have preferred listing fewer streets, but including more characters. The more detailed map, however, contains characters for almost all the streets. So if your travels will keep you within the third ring (true for almost all tourists), this map should suffice.

However, I would recommend staying away from the restaurant information. The ones listed are hopelessly out of date. Of the 5 I checked, 3 were no longer there. Trust your guide book instead.
