Berlitz Guide to China,
By nollik (Nahariya, Israel) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Berlitz China Pocket Guide (Berlitz Pocket Guides) (Paperback)
We've bought Berlitz Guides before and have been thoroughly satisfied, but wondered how a pocket sized book could cover the vast expanse of China. But leave it to Berlitz- they've managed in a pocket-sized inexpensive book to cover highlights of history, geography, and essential tourist information of many of the locations tourists will visit. Our visit, including Beijing, Xian and Guilin, was covered well enough that we were able to communicate intelligently with the Chinese tourist agency planning our itinerary. Kudos to Berlitz Guide.

Outdated,
By Uncle Ed (Boston) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Berlitz China Pocket Guide (Berlitz Pocket Guides) (Paperback)
I recently took a trip to China. This book has good information but needs an update. Examples:
1. It says that the town of Yangshuo is "even prettier than Guilin, and without the full-on tour-group tourism of Guilin, attracts droves of independent travelers". (p 108). The place is mobbed with tourists and tour buses. Pretty place, though. 2. It says that the Big Wild Goose Pagoda "rises in the middle of farming country". (p 187) The pagoda is in the middle of a highly built-up area that probably has been built since the review was made.
5.0 out of 5 stars
