5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Eyewitness Travel Guide, August 24, 2004

By	Traveler (Del Mar, CA) - See all my reviews

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Little Book, October 2, 2005

By	Edwin S. Sharp "essharp" (Foley, Alabama USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars The other Eyewitness guides are better, August 30, 2008

I guess I simply don't like the top 10 style compared to the typical style of the Eyewitess Guides. This is just not as well organized or easy to find information in. Plus you miss out on things you may enjoy but are not considered Top 10. The regular Eyewitness Guides are great!
