Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I took this book with me on my recent trip to Shanghai, and I found it very helpful. It includes a large section on the history of the city and how it has evolved over time, which is something I really enjoy. It then goes on with a good variety of recommendations for every budget, separated by area. It was very helpful that each area section had its own mini map with the landmarks and recommendations highlighted. The foldout full color city map in the back was also helpful, and I was able to take that along on day trips when I didn't feel like lugging the book around. I didn't find the writing style derogatory or unappreciative of the culture as it is, it is simply a fact that the city does very little to preserve its historical aspects. The writing was objective and informative and gave me a good idea of what to expect while there. It also had a helpful section on the World's Fair, which was going on while I was there. All in all, a good reference book. I'll look to lonely planet again for future trips.
