    5.0 out of 5 stars Great book. It was right on the money., September 30, 1999

    This review is from: China: The Complete Guide with Tombs, Mountains and Ancient Treasures (1st Edition) (Paperback)
    In June of 1999 I was preparing myself for a three week adventure to China. Not knowing anything about China I decided to purchase a travel guide. I puchased Fodor's China. I read the book from one end to the other before leaving Canada. I couldn't believe how the book was exactly how I would find things in China. Hotels, meals, travel, currencies, siteseeing, what to watch out for, safe areas, unsafe areas, maps, shopping, and entertainment. The book was very consise and organized very well. Thank you Fodor for making my trip most pleasurable. I ordered two more of the same books on China for family as I am returning to China once again with your book. Thanks again, Bob Eckess Canada
