Book Reviews of China (Country Guide)
Book Review: A good overview
Summary: 4 Stars
A good overview for those visiting different cities in China. Information is sufficient for the basic information but nothing in depth, which is expected as it is a book about all of China.
The maps have both english and chinese printed, so this is very convenient for those needing help with directions.
