    The Rough Guide to Beijing is the ultimate travel guide to China's remarkable capital city.

And if you fancy taking a trip outside of Beijing, you'll be pointed in the right direction: incredible treks around the Great Wall, ancient villages, imperial hunting parks and fascinating, offbeat museums are all part of the mix.

    Comprehensive sections detail the very best places to sleep, eat, drink, shop and unwind: check out our author picks and "Beijing's Best" boxes, selecting atmospheric courtyard hotels, stylish bars, edgy art galleries, lively antiques markets, and much more. Expert reviews on film, literature and live music create a rounded and exciting picture of modern Beijing.

    However long you're staying, and whatever your budget, The Rough Guide to Beijing has you covered.

      Out of date, with some map markers that are disastrously misleading. This edition is not very useful in 2010, should not be purchased unless you are desperate for context. If you purchase, it's highly recommended not to rely on this guide as your only source of information. Also descriptions are written with a distinctly anti Communist government sentiment, expressed through little asides which are sort of funny for a couple of pages, and then just very tiresome for many more after that. YES ROUGH GUIDES BEIJING EDITOR SIMON LEWIS, I UNDERSTAND I AM IN CHINA. THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME AWARE OF THIS FACT ONCE AGAIN.While it's not completely horrible, generally The Rough Guide to Beijing 3rd Edition is a waste of money. More importantly, it's a waste of space in your bag. Not recommended.
