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.
