Guide Picks - Top 5 China Guide Books

If you want to get a China guide book, make sure to get the latest edition of the book. Since China is changing rapidly, the latest edition should have more accurate information.
1) Lonely Planet China

By Caroline Liou, Paperback, 1088 pages, 2000, ISBN: 0864427557

Includes a brief history of China, maps, useful Chinese words, and some good advice. But some of the information in the book may be out of date since China is changing rapidly. If you just go to Beijing (or Shanghai), you may get the book just for Beijing, such as Lonely Planet Beijing.

2) Rough Guide to China

This book is similar to "Lonely Planet China." Also remember some of the information in the book may be out of date.

By Julie Harms, et al. Paperback, 800 pages, 2000, ISBN: 0312246706

4) Insight Guide China

By Scott Rutherford, Paperback, 400 pages, 2000, ISBN: 0887295959

This is an informative guide book. There is a new edition coming in February 2002.

5) China Guide : Be a Traveler - Not a Tourist

By Ruth Lor Malloy, Paperback, 800 pages, 1999, ISBN: 1892975017
