el. Much specific detail which I need when traveling off the bus, i. not part of a tour group.

I went to china
The bulk of it is on the differant cities in china. This book has a bit useful general information. I visited Guilin and Liuzhou and the information on these cities seemed old. It stated the best hotels to stay at and this was inaccurate due to constant building. I would not recomend taking this book with you to china. It is not worth the added weight.

Pretty good in practice
Travelled to Beijing, Xian and Luoyang. I spent 2 weeks in China and used this book. The only serious negative was the weight of the book. Also, the book did a poor job describing the Asian hotel reservation websites which offer much better deals than orbitz, expedia or [. . . ]. However, no book is perfect and I would use this for my next trip.
