Travel Beijing, China - Illustrated Guide, Phrasebook and Maps. FREE general info, map and basic phrasebook in the trial (Mobi Travel)

Comprehensive, concise and well-organized. A great resource and a true bargain. I found this travel guide to Beijing to be very useful and nicely put together. Mobilereference always has nice graphics and pictures. There was enough information to be useful, but not so much that it was overkill.
Beijing is easy to get around and the transportation system is a breeze, if not a little dingy. Also, there are plenty of engaging sites and areas and it is quite obvious which places you should see and which you may want to forego.
I give this ebook five stars.
