Best pictures of China,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: China (Insight Guide China) (Paperback)
Insight Guides typically have incredible pictures of the locations you may be considering visiting. This book on China is no exception. It has colorful and interesting photos of the people and the land. If you are looking for a guide book with a lot of recommendations on accommodations and what to see and what to avoid incorporated into the text, this may not be your choice. Insight does have travel tips, but they are in the back and may not be as convenient as you would like. Still an excellent book and recommended.
