China travel guide

Antique yet up-to-the-minute, familiar yet unrecognisable, outwardly urban but quintessentially rural, conservative yet path-breaking, space-age but old-fashioned, China is a land of mesmerising and eye-opening contradictions.

This new edition of the most comprehensive guide to China available, features brand new chapters on visiting the Great Wall and travelling around by train, extensively updated post-earthquake coverage of Sichuan and a colour highlights section showcasing the country's food, temples, hiking and festivals.

Inside this book…

  • 11 intrepid authors
  • 198 maps
  • 76 temples & monasteries
  • 100s of noodle spots
  • Beijing & Hong Kong pull-out map
  • Special Great Wall feature

Our promise...You can trust our travel information because Lonely Planet authors visit the places we write about, each and every edition. We never accept freebies for positive coverage, and you can rely on us to tell it like we see it.
