China for the ex-pat
She has many guides for Beijing but for the whole country, she needed a good guide book. I purchased Rough Guide to China as a gift for my daughter who lives in Beijing. She examined both Rough Guide and the Lonely Planet Guide, which I own, and thought that both were excellent. The only advantage that Lonely Planet has over Rough Guide is that the names of places also have the Chinese characters along side the English name.

best china guide!
Found Rough Guides much more accurate, not to mention more interested to read. Used both this book as well as Lonely Planet to travel many, many places in China during the summer of 2006. It gives a very candid description of places, so you know exactly what to expect (well, usually). A great guide to China!.

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.
