Description
With over 1300 pages and 158 maps, the Rough Guide to China successfully covers all corners of this vast and extraordinary country. Lively coverage is given of the whole country from the booming cities of Shanghai and Beijing to the remote regions of the southwest and the oasis towns of the Silk Road. The authors give expert practical advice for every budget on where to stay, where to find the best local cuisine and getting round by public transport. There is also unrivalled background on China's history, politics, cultures and peoples.
