I swear by DK Eyewitness guides. Not only for pre-trip planning...but for use on location. Both domestic and international (own the typical...Italy, France, etc).

For my China / Hong Kong trip, I am disappointed that a guide for China is not available. However....the "top ten" version makes up partially for my loss.

The top ten guide provides a very focused tutorial for my 3 day stay. Allows me to strategically have the best use of my time and help me understand the less obvious. Not only descriptive...but pictorially.

I plan to buy more "top ten" guides.

For my mainland China guide...I bought the National Geograpic Traveler China guide. The next best thing to the DK Eyewitness series. Highly recommended... Nat'l Geo quality with a hint of DK.

Pretty good little book for first time travelers. I bought this book and took it with me when I was in Hong Kong last month. You can just throw in your backpack while in Hong Kong and use it when needed.

This was a Godsend! I studied in Hong Kong for one semester - 4.5 months. Because of this book I was able to make the best of my experience. This guide book helped me create many fun mini-excursions as well as plan the normal touristy activities. There were so many things that I would have never known about if I hadn't owned this book. There were fun things my friends and I did that the locals had never even done! This was in my 'back pocket' throughout the entire stay. One week, I let my friend borrow it since his parents were coming to visit and I felt naked without it!
