"'Time Out has the best written city guides.' Sunday Telegraph"


Product Description

Shanghai is rapidly becoming the economic and cultural powerhouse not just of China, but also of all Asia. Recognized as the world's fastest growing city, it's a place where skyscrapers sprout weekly and where doing something immediately is considered sluggish. Boundless energy, technological advancement, and cash, cash, cash make Shanghai buzz like perhaps no other city in the world. The first edition of this Time Out guide is written by a team of resident experts and local journalists who have scoured Shanghai from the early morning farmers' market at Xiangyang to the clubs of Guandii at dawn to present the complete picture of this city in flux. The guide offers tips on cultural etiquette, expert recommendations of the best places to stay for every budget, and a complete guide to cuisine, including how to tell Cantonese from Chaozhou, and Shaoxing from Yangzhou.

5.0 out of 5 stars I can't imagine Shanghai without it . . . , July 7, 2005
After a three-week visit to China and Taiwan, I am happy to say that the Time Out guide to Shanghai was by far the best single-city guide I used. It's replete with valuable information about attractions, hotels, restaurants, shops, spas, etc. and also contains a useful historical overview. Beyond this, however, the layout is terrific, and the book is remarkably easy to use as a result (certainly much better than the Rough Guide and Lonely Planet in this regard). The maps, in particular, are helpful. My only complaint: it would have been nice to have more place names in Chinese, but there are four pages in the very back that list major sites.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful Guide, March 11, 2006
By Amazon Shopper (Mtn. View, CA) - See all my reviews
Just returned from 1 week business/pleasure visit to Shanghai and I found this guide full of good recommendations and descriptions were accurate. Better than Lonely Planet's Best of Shanghai which I also bought.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best, July 17, 2006
By M. Jones (Baltimore, MD United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought every guide there was on my way to Shanghai, and this was the best by far, with clear maps, a pronounciation guide that makes sense and clear, to-the-point reviews.
