Book Reviews of Lonely Planet China (Country Guide)
Book Review: China travel help
Summary: 4 Stars
We are independent travelers who usually travel with Lonely Planet. China is changing so fast it is hard to keep any guide up to date, but the travel and site information here was generally accurate and very helpful. I was disapointed in some of the restaurant recomendations.Book Review: Woo Hoo
Summary: 5 Stars
The Lonely Planet series never disappoints. It always has great information and tips that really help out. I like how honest the writers are about both the positive and negative aspects of the places they are reviewing. When travelling the books become my number 1 resource.Book Review: so so
Summary: 3 Stars
For standard tourist attractions its a fine guide book BUT it is no insider guide not even close.
And it is HEAVY!!!!! So think twice; or actually thrice as it is banned in China and if you come across police they might take it away from you!
Book Review: Useful, but very weak on Western China (10th ed.)
Summary: 3 Stars
Although the 10th Edition provides useful information, I found its coverage of Western China extremely dated. Indeed, the information was so stale that a resident expat in Kashgar questioned whether LP visited Xinjinag prior to releasing the new edition.Book Review: Old edition - now out of date
Summary: 2 Stars
Amazing that Amazon is still selling the old edition. The new one came out in May, 2009 - readily available (at full price) from the Lonely Planet website.
