prinsesse Beathe Post Count: 16 Msg: #1 82 days ago, May 4th 2008 | I'm looking for a travel book that covers both Guangzhou and Hong Kong, have anyone some recommendations? | It seems that the LP and Rough guide book with the same title "Hong Kong and Macau" does not cover Guangzhou. But i'm not sure, since i havent actually seen the books, i have only read recommendations online. If i do not find such a book, are the LP China book recommended for my purpose? goodsue Susan Goodman Post Count: 15 Msg: #2 81 days ago, May 5th 2008 | I used Lonely Planet's China book. | grantcorp Johan Rehn Post Count: 93 Msg: #3 76 days ago, May 10th 2008 | If you don't mind your information being a bit out of date you can scour the second hand bookshops or online sites for the old LP titled Hong Kong, Macau & Guangzhou. Not sure when they ditched GZ, I still hold on to my 9th edition copy from 1999 as I see no reason to replace it. It holds 320 pages on HK, 70 pages on Macau and some 90 pages on GZ and its neighbouring cities. By comparison, the 7th Ed. LP China is roughly twice the size but only dedicates about 40 pages to HK, 15 pages for Macau and seventeen pages for GZ. | prinsesse Beathe Post Count: 16 Msg: #4 76 days ago, May 10th 2008 | thanks for the help =) i think i will try to find one of the older LP book with Hong Kong, Macau & Guangzhou then, i like to get inspired by a travel book, but i can still verify information elsewhere if i got an old book. 90 pages is still much more than 17 :) | Number of Users: 3 | Number of Posts: 4 | ||||||||||||
