Just want to register my utter shock and amazement that Frommers which I always associated with old bloated folks with matching luggage actually substantially out does the competition with this guide. Lodging information is lacking but, hey if this guide has Yushu, Kaiping and a section on covered bridges south of Wenzhou they're doing something right. One surmises that unlike the lp authors some of these folks must actually have flipped through the raft of chinese language travel guides (to "old villages" and the like) that have come out in the last ten years. Brand loyalty is for suckers but hey you all knew that. At least the lp China isn't as bad as some of their European and South American guidebooks which read as if they were written by the let's go party kids without the liberal education/harvard crazy....

This book isn't as backpacker-friendly as the Lonely Planet book. It's good for maps and as a supplement, but when you're backpacking, you don't really want to carry around two several-hundred page travel tomes. I've also found some of the suggestions and reviews inaccurate. Stick with Lonely Planet China.

The guide provided comprehensive information, but it wasn't a lot of fun to read
