Equally useful to visitors and residents, this map fully details the layout of China's capital.

Summary: This map saved my life
Comment: I got separated from my tour group and using this map (with a non English speaking tour guide) I found my way back to my hotel.

Summary: Very good map, but avoid the restaurant/hotel information
Comment: I was looking for a map aimed at English-speakers, but with enough characters to be useful. [A map with only pinyin, but no characters, is pretty useless for traveling in China.] This map mostly fit the bill. It contains two maps, a 1:60,000 scale map of Beijing, and a 1:15,000 scale map of the inner Beijing (not even including the entire third ring). [Plus a useless 1:500,000 scale map of the greater Beijing.] The larger map contains almost no characters, except the major streets. I would have preferred listing fewer streets, but including more characters. The more detailed map, however, contains characters for almost all the streets. So if your travels will keep you within the third ring (true for almost all tourists), this map should suffice.

However, I would recommend staying away from the restaurant information. The ones listed are hopelessly out of date. Of the 5 I checked, 3 were no longer there. Trust your guide book instead.

Summary: Very nice map of Beijing
Comment: Very good map. Lots of details and Chinese transcriptions. The only week point is that it lacks a metro map, but it is not a big deal.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Good map for Beijing
Comment: After looking at various maps of Beijing, I chose this map. Unlike other maps, this one has name of most of the streets in using our familiar alphabet system and in Chinese characters. The map is easy to read and has many locations such as hotels, shopping centers, embassies, and restaurants. I only wish it was laminated so that it would be more resistant to tearing at the folds.

Summary: Beijing Periplus Travel Map
Comment: Of all the maps we have used during our trip to Beijing this has been the most useful. It is very detailed, covers most parts of the city, outlines the subway system, is durable and folds up nicely for carying.
