Customer Rating: Summary: National Geographic Traveler China Comment: Very good book for someone planning to make a trip to China. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Introduction for the Serious Traveler Comment: I found this book invaluable on my recent trip to China. It is not a typical tourist book, however, it provides a treasure of genuinely valuable background information for the serious traveler. Customer Rating: Summary: Nat Geographic Traveler China Comment: Excellent book for general knowedge on planning a trip. worththe $. Customer Rating: Summary: China book limited Comment: The photos and color are beautiful, as you would expect from National Geographic, but the actual guides to major sightseeing areas are fairly poor. They are somewhat "snobby" with too much criticism of places "for tourists." The book is actually hard to handle since, I assume for the sake of the photos, the paper is very heavy and glassy, certainly nothing you could actually bring with you on your trip to China.
