5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular guide!!!!!, June 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Fodor's Citypack Shanghai, 1st Edition (Fodors 25 Best) (Paperback)

This guide was great! I had been to Shanghai before, and can speak Mandarin, but this guide was well worth the money. The map was accurate, the "Top Sights" was right on, and was more informational than the govt. sponsored travel groups. I will be picking up a Citypack for my next trip to a new city for sure!

2.0 out of 5 stars Inadequate alone - a good second guide, May 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Fodor's Citypack Shanghai, 1st Edition (Fodors 25 Best) (Paperback)

Road tested in Shanghai in May 2000. This book is inadequate by itself - no place names in Chinese script to show taxi drivers - no warnings about the ingenious scams - but if you have the indispensible Lonely Planet Guide - this is a good, much simpler book to take along too.

3.0 out of 5 stars So-so Guidebook, January 5, 2001

This review is from: Fodor's Citypack Shanghai, 1st Edition (Fodors 25 Best) (Paperback)

Used this and Insight Guide for a week in Shanghai in 11/00. If you are looking for a concise, compact guide I thought the Insight Guide was much better. After the first day, this one stayed in the Hotel Room.
