Review
Best guidebook. -- Sunday Times, London, UK
By far the best guide. -- Financial Times, London, UK
Elegant erudition... ...the Rough Guide wants to dig below the surface and help readers through difficult situations...
...You want to buy antiques? The Rough Guide is much more detailed and informative than its rivals. or to visit the Beijing opera? While the Lonely Planet sends you to the tourist venue and the Cadogan directs you to a theatre without an address, the Rough Guide sends you down an alley to the real thing. On restaurants, the Rough Guide offers the widest range of suggestions and the most accurate descriptions of what to expect (and avoid)...
...[other guides] are outclassed by the Rough Guide's thoughtful description [of the Ming Tomb] which evokes past and present, sights and sounds, in a marvellously deft couple of pages. -- The Sunday Telegraph, London, UK
Packed with information, critical and nicely written. -- The Times, London, UK
Tells it like it is. . . fulfils its promise of presenting China in its contemporary context. -- The Times, London, UK
The most thorough and stimulating practical guide to the country. -- Elle Decoration
Unfortunately the TES's budget doesn't stretch to my checking the mass of information it contains first hand, but the whole thing is clearly laid out, and in addition to all the essentials for any intrepid backpacker, there are many fascinating nuggets of historical and cultural background. -- Times Educational Supplement, London, UK
