There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Before getting the book I was depending on information that I found on the internet and the advice of other travelers and expats which, to say the least, was generally conflicting and confusing which is natural since their advice was based solely on their visit and their experiences which introduces so many variables. It was enough to make me crazy.
Josh's book includes just about anything you need to know and has links to other online resources on his website and other sites. AND, if you have a question his book doesn't answer, you can email him and he will get back to you. How's that for top-notch customer service and satisfaction? I also bought the digital version of the book so that I can easily read it on my Kindle app and click on the links that are right in the book. I'm going into the trip knowing that I've done my due diligence with the best information available by using this book and accompanying resources (which are free!).
I do have one disclaimer for my review. Since we won't take our trip for another few weeks, I can't comment on how accurate or reliable the information is but I will say that I have GREAT confidence that the money I spent on the book and the time I invested planning our trip based on his tips and resources will be well spent. If it's permissible, I'll gladly amend my review to reflect my findings upon our return. Keep up the great work, Josh, and thank you for all of your help.

He covers everything from the types of food you can expect, to major holidays that are observed, to tourist traps, to Chinese Visas, and everything in between. The book also gives you some very important reality checks that many travelers may not consider.
This book helps to prepare you for the situations you will never think of, or would be impossible to think of unless you already have prior experience. If you were on the fence about visiting China, this book will definitely tip the scales in either direction because you will be left with accurate knowledge and more realistic expectations of China.
Josh really has a heart for helping people get the most out of their time in China, and I've recommended Josh's website as well as resources he's linked to many times. If you're planning a visit or (especially) a move to China, I highly recommend this book as well as his website!

An honest and accurate guide to China, very different from the usual 'sunshine and rainbows' guides you occasionally see regarding China.
Overall good. I would have liked it to have come out before I started living in China, it would have potentially saved me from some mishaps!

The author Josh Summers also has a website that you can sign up to and he will send email updates to you with useful information.
I can't recommend this book high enough.
It is exceptional value for money and written in a very useful and totally understandable way.


Liked the whole book very informative.
We are going to China so this book will be very useful to us.
