Travel Guide Book

I really enjoyed this book and used it extensively last September when I visited Beijing and Shanghai for work, each for a couple of days. Logistically very useful for orientation and deep knowledge of the culture and history complete with all the cities, especially Beijing. Visually rich and well presented - provides a preview of the greatness of the places it describes. A bit 'on the large side for a guide, but I managed to fit in your pocket.
