Doesn't tell you the whole truth about Beijing.......2006-09-20

If you go the largest imported books bookstore in Beijing, which is located in Wangfujing, and grab this title from the shelves, you will find that several paragraphs in the book have been covered with a white paper strip: my own educated guess is that one probably dealt with Beijing's traffic congestion and the other with a certain bloody episode which happened on Tian'anmen Square in 1989.

I asked an employee what this meant. "The content must have been politically harmful", was the answer. There was no trace of embarassment in his voice. Business as usual...

Nevertheless, the book is available. Who will want to buy a blatantly censored copy for what is still a high price remains an open question. This may sound anecdotal but it isn't. It just shows how little things have really changed although China is reputedly the land of Change. I must congratulate the author for having written some "politically incorrect" stuff about Peking (let's stick to the old name, it is so much easier to pronounce), but I have to disagree with his general appraisal of the city. It is quite true that, as he states in the preface, Peking has been a "global irrelevance" for many decades, but it is simply false to claim that it is now an "exciting time" to visit the Chinese capital.

Think about this: John Blofeld (1913-1987), a British scholar who wrote books on Eastern philosophy and religion, and traveled extensively in Asia, including China, reports in one of his travelogues that when he visited Peking in what are for us "the good old times", before the Communist takeover that is, local people were already complaining that the old ways had disappeared.

Today, more than half a century later, after the Great Cultural Revolution and the demolition of the magnificent city walls, Peking finds itself in the midst of what in fact amounts to a second Cultural Revolution: an unprecedented, huge urban overhaul designed to turn it into a futuristic metropolis.

To sum it all up, Peking has completely lost its soul and one must ask: Where is the excitement, really? Are we talking about the five-stars hotels with their international buffets? Are we talking about the fact that local people can now buy French foie gras in the nearest supermarket? Are we talking about those glass and steel skyscrapers that have turned large areas of the city into what looks like a kind of alien Martian base? If that is something that makes you excited, yes, then by all means do visit the city. You will be satisfied.

Leaving aside the architectural monstrosities of the recent past and those that are being built in complete disregard to the ancient city environment, let us have a look at Peking's much publicized cultural heritage. Is it really worth seeing?

My answer is a definite NO. Keep your money for Pompeii, Tikal, Versailles or Angkor Vat. First of all, unless you are acquainted with Chinese culture, chances are that you will not be able to appreciate what you see. Just as it takes some time to appreciate a book or a piece of music. The reason is that Chinese architecture is not spectacular at all. And it is quite devoid of originality. If you have seen one pagoda, you have seen them all. Besides, you probably can't read Chinese characters. Chinese art is an extension of the writing system.

But there are many other factors that combined will probably make a visit to Peking quite disappointing, if not infuriating (for a sensitive traveler, that is). First of all, the crowds of tourists, both foreign and Chinese. They are overwhelming (and unfortunately most interesting sites have rather short opening hours). Second, the ruthless commercialism and incredibly bad taste: the merchants of the Temple are omnipresent. I am not only talking about nagging vendors, souvenirs shops, noisy fast-foods and bars inside the premises, but also about big and small advertising boards and a multitude of ugly modern artefacts that mar both the great monuments and the more modest ancient alleys ("hutongs").

A few examples: if you go to the Forbidden City, you will find pistachio green plastic garbage cans everywhere. The benches inside the palace all bear advertising plaques for a company that sells air conditioners. If you visit the( few remaining)hutongs, you will find that the old houses are lined with brand-new cars and that their façades are marred by big air conditioners. Near the Forbidden City, the hutongs are dotted with ugly telephone booths in the shape of an orange mushroom (yes!)every five or ten meters. The tiles on most pavilions and pagodas are made of ugly, grey concrete (the real thing is too costly). There must be more than a hundred big, red fire extinguishers in the otherwise quite beautiful Lama Temple and there are alas not hidden from view. Roofs around Tian'anmen Square are bristling with huge, unsightly mobile phone towers. The wonderful animal and human statues in the Spirit Way, which is part of the huge Ming Tombs Site, are all flanked by a big plastic garbage can and they have built new roads on both sides of it: enough noise to scare away the spirits and prevent you from entering a meditative state...

Etc., etc., etc. There is no end to the list of things both small and great that spoil the remnants of the past in Peking and elsewhere in China, which shows just how culturally decadent Chinese people have become. One could without exaggeration say that today the urban culture in China is an extension of Las Vegas and Hollywood with some Chinese elements thrown in for good measure (and face!).

Sometimes the incongruities are so blatant, so ludicrous that one starts wondering if there isn't a kind of conspiracy, a deliberate attempt to debase and desecrate the past, which is after all just superstitious rubbish for a true Communist and a mere merchandise for a true Capitalist (they are pretty much the same in my opinion). The alliance of the two has produced what may be the biggest kitsch paradise on earth: Pe-kitsch.

The third point you need to keep in mind is the weather, which can be summed up as: cold winter smog, spring sandstorms and smog, summer sauna and smog (+heavy rains in July) and dry autumn smog. Twenty years ago(yes, I have lived that long here!), Peking had a Mediterranean climate of sorts with clear blue skies most of the time, but due to heavy traffic pollution the city has now smoky skies with no wind and therefore a suffocating atmosphere most of the time (let's say about 70 percent of the time). In many places, the air stinks with the smell of chemical paint. It is also full of dust particles from the thousands of construction sites, to say nothing of the exhaust fumes from the hundreds of thousands of trucks, bulldozers and private cars that race through narrow alleys and oversized avenues alike.

The fourth point is traffic. It is increasingly difficult to go from one place to another without being caught in huge traffic jams (the government actually encourages people to buy cars and they hope every household will have its own car by 2020!!!). The happy times when you could go around leisurely riding a bicycle are basically finished. Now the streets have become a battleground and cars crowd even the sidewalks. The subway network is pitifully inadequate and incredibly crowded. As another expat once said to me: "I never take the Beijing subway because to find the nearest subway station, I have first to take a taxi."

The fifth point is service. While young shop assistants and other employees are generally friendly (but not always competent), a large part of the local staff, specially in parks, museums and big supermarkets, is composed of (sexually frustrated?)middle-aged women who are rude, indifferent and lazy. There is a pervading mood of discontent and irritation in the city, which is quite comprehensible considering the high level of environmental stress, the lack of genuine community life (most "local" people are rootless domestic immigrants)and the political tyranny. Add to this the fierce competition for jobs, the money problems and all the cares inseparable from both great and modest affluence (blessed are the poor, indeed!). Almost everyone will try to rip you off. Money reigns supreme.

This is not to say that there aren't any beautiful or interesting places to see--the author of this guide has done a good job in this respect since he mentions not only the (fake) Great Wall at Badaling, but also other segments of the wall in wilder areas-- but most of them are outside the city. Or you have to be in the Forbidden City on a cold, rainy day or at the peak of a media-orchestrated flu epidemic, when the crowds are away. Even then, you will have to close your eyes often in order not to see all the jarring details I mentioned before.

You may appreciate the cheap food. The poor will still smile at you and greet you (while the new middle-class rich won't even look at you). The huge parks provide a welcome respite from the ugliness and noise of the rest of the city, but they are quite ordinary and, like the whole place, not genuinely Chinese, but a sloppy mixture of styles. Even here, under the shadow of gracious willows, your contemplation of the beautiful lotus ponds will often be interrupted by the awful noise of spitting indigenous males clearing their throats. This is China!

Remember the white tags of censorship in the book. And know that contrary to what the cover photograph wants you to believe, very few young people in Peking practice kungfu. These days they prefer to play basket-ball or electronic games.

PS: Read the "Ugly Chinaman" by Boyang to understand why this country has become such a mess.

Missing major component.......2006-08-22

The information is good but there are no Chinese characters of locations/names to show to taxi drivers. The pronunciations are just too difficult for some one not adept at languages or who has not studied some Chinese. I have taken over a dozen trips to China and find books with Chinese characters far more useful.

So much to see, so little time..........2006-08-12

Since I was on a guided tour, I used the book mainly to familiarize myself with the various sights and sounds. I agree with other reviewers who mentioned that some areas of the book are being outdated by the fast development of Beijing. Overall, the book is well put together and would have been useful if I had done more on my own. Would not hesitate to pick up a revised edition on my next trip to Beijing.

Accurate Information.......2006-03-26

Though I found the layout of this Lonely Planet book odd (even the Index is divided by topics), its content proved to be accurate. If you visit Beijing, expect very few people to speak even limited English.

Does the job.......2005-09-03

The latest edition of LP Beijing follows the new formatting that LP introduced in 2004 for its travel guides. There are inserts of colour photography for those of you so inclined. The Language section is OK, and chinese is used on the maps to assist you when dealing with taxi/bus drivers.

Generally speaking, the LP Beijing City Guide will do the job for short term visitors to the city, and these short term visitors are the target audience for these books. Those staying long term as ESL teachers or in other capacities will find it lacking after a while, but there is only so much you can squeeze into these books anyway.

Just a note to those planning on visiting the city in the next few months. A lot of the major sights, such as the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven, are under restoration as part of the city's preparation for the 2008 Olympics (see the Olympic countdown clock outside the main entrance of the Museum of Chinese History), with scaffolding and workmen all over the show. You can still get into these places, but may not be able to see all the sights mentioned in the guidebook. But be sure to get a photo of the Starbucks which is slap bang in the middle of this historic city. Commercialism at its finest...

I'm normally a devoted LP customer, but I have to admit to making an impulse decision to purchase the Insight City Guide to Beijing. I found the Insight guide to be almost as good, particularly where maps are concerned. The Insight guide was also cheaper than the LP book, although I think the LP listed more activities. For me though, Lonely Planet still sets the standard for Travel Guides.

AWESOME GUIDE, but beware..........2007-01-05

Why beware? Well, Beijing is undergoing massive reconstruction in advance of the 2008 Olympics. I went to one location this guide mentioned, hoping to find the "Cool World CD Store" and instead found an open construction lot.

Snap.

Fortunately, the big places - The Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, etc. - are still there, so you shouldn't miss those. The maps are superior and were the things I'd refer to most frequently there. They're strategically located on the endflaps, not buried in the pages of the book. If I ever go to Beijing again, I'll have this little travel bible by my side, you can be assured of that!

A little too compact, perhaps. . ........2006-08-21

Perhaps I have to chalk it up to my nearly-fifty-year-old eyes, but this guidebook is virtually impossible to use without a magnifying glass. Every time I read a review that harps point size I usually take it with the proverbial grain of salt, but this one really is very difficult to use. The maps of Beijing are even worse than the text, as the captions are printed in colors that do not stand out from the background. I thought this would be a nice little pocketbook to carry, that would fulfill both guidebook and map requirements, but in the latter case, it just isn't useful at all!
The guidebook itself is pretty concise, however, so that is a redeeming factor. A lot of the info seems to be imported from the LP China volume. I would just get that, plus a real map of Beijing. (And I have found that the Insight map of Beijing does not have any captions in Chinese characters. Maybe it was an older edition? I would think that is requisite for a city map to be at all useful!)

Thumbs Down if you are a serious traveler.......2004-07-27

I thought I was getting a 'real' map ... unfold it, spread it out on the kitchen table type Big map with details. Not the case. The actual Map dimensions of Beijing and surrounding area, when unfolded, is ONLY 9 in. x 11 3/8 in. Only 1 in. bigger than standard print paper.

There are MORE streets WITHOUT names than there are with. Then on the other side is the same size Blow up of Central Bejing.. Small! Again, not good on details. A magnifying glass is needed to find most of the other sights that Lonely planet did put on the map..... but then there no names of the streets to be able to find the sights .. only larger streets are listed.

I only give it 3/4 of a star for showing the Subway stops with their name.
I give them 2/4 of a star for laminating. There just wasn't much to laminate.
I give them 3/4 of a star for the map index

Convenient and Durable Though a Bit Dated.......2004-03-07

As one who just returned from four years in the city and is planning to return in a few months, I began a futile search for a completely updated map of Beijing and found this one. The search proved futile because the map makers always seem to be at least 2-4 years behind the times, which in Beijing time is like a decade or more in the States. Keep in mind that this map, while useful, reflects this time lag. For example, it does not show Ping An Li, a major east-west running street northwest of the city center, as a continuation of Dianmen to the east, which runs by Beihai Lake. Instead, it indicates that hutongs (alley streets) intervene. To be fair, none of the other maps depict this accurately either (and this street has been in this expanded form for at least 6 years).

However, this map is laminated, which will allow it to last much longer in a city where fine sand sometimes prevails and grime often works its way into everything. Moreover, it is user-friendly because all of the locations are in a combination of English and Pinyin and the layout enables both to be easier to read (especially in poorly lit taxis). For the sake of taxicab drivers (and users who cannot pronounce Pinyin), it would be even more helpful if it also included Chinese characters of major roadways, etc. Still, the inset maps of major tourist sites are nice and convenient and it's durable laminated surface makes it easy to open and close when you're in a hurry. Recommended.

Typical LP map - very handy for planning a first trip.......2003-06-02

If you're off to Beijing for the first time, then this map is for you. The bicycle tour is the best part and the map is pretty comprehensive with most of the touristy things you'd like to see on a map. The map is typical of most LP maps but lacks a Metro map which would be handy to have. Of course, use this map in conjunction with a good Beijing city guide and a Metro map, and you're all set.

Great pocket resource.......2006-05-01

I used this many times when I visited Beijing. I lived in China for two years and visited Beijing five or six times and used this book most of those times. The maps are good, though with the rapid growth of the city they are limited. It is especially good if you don't have a lot of time and want to check out the highlights. I own several Best of and Condensed lonely planets and I love them.

A Pretty Good Travel Guide, Perhaps Too Condensed........2004-08-19

This is a pretty good travel guide. It might have been a little too condensed. I liked the slim form factor of the book. I personally would have preferred if it was a little bit larger and went into greater detail on some of the topics.

As opposed to the more complete Lonely Planet Beijing book, this book was published earlier this year. I would like to think that some of the information is more up to date as a result. It's simply too difficult to compare due to the fact that the book doesn't cover as many topics.

On the upside, like most Lonely Planet books, the graphics and pictures are awesome. I would have preferred a little more detail on the site map, but in general Lonely Planet does a nice job with their visuals.

On a whole, I would recommend this book to somebody who will soon be travelling to Beijing.

Good city guide, getting worse.......2002-10-30

In general, I consider Lonely Planet (LP) as one of the best publishers which excels in thick, detailed guide books that describes in "text" the best attributes of a city or country. LP is not a book with pretty tourist stock photos. If you want pretty pictures, I recommend the Insight Guides which have at least 1 per page. After looking at a half dozen Beijing (BJ) city guides, this book excels again in describing Zhongguancun, where others fail.

Zhongguancun, (Zgc) is like a Chinese Silicon Valley, or computer business development area near Beijing and Qinghua Universities (p149-50) in the older 3rd edition. Zgc is an important hi-tech area for tycoons, business, and consumers alike to find computers and software localized for China. It is located in the Haidian District, NW Beijing, near Haidian Rd and Zgc Rd following the 4th Ring Rd, far outside the Metro ring. Zgc is just south of the Old Summer Palace area. This area is probably best accessible by bicycle, taxi, light rail, and bus. It is about 4 miles (6km) NW of the northwestern-most metro ring station at Xizhimen. Zgc is listed in the index.

In the Insight Guide (p198), I saw a Zizhimen light rail stop about 1 mile away from Zgc.

LP/BJ 3rd ed (0-86442-547-3), also has a two maps to get a good view of Zgc and the downtown districts, Map 3 for overall Beijing and 10 for the Haidian district. Map 10 also shows the Zgc bus stop with nearby hotels, restaurants, internet cafe, brewery, and universities. This edition has 11 maps.

However in LP/BJ 4th ed (1-86450-144-8), Zgc is still listed (p53). Zgc is lost in the maps with only 7 maps, ersatz replaced with 20 pages of pretty stock tourist pictures. I believe LP's editors have stepped in the wrong direction here. Lets hope that they get it right before the 08 Olympics. I read this in the local library.

I noticed that LP/BJ 5th ed (1740592816), with a new author is scheduled to be released this month, 10/02.

Horrible Guidebook.......2002-08-06

I returned from Beijing last week after spending about 2 weeks in the city. I had and used the Lonely Planet Beijing guidebook extensively. It was at least partially wrong about almost everything. Museums, resteraunts, and other things it recommended were closed. Every phone number was wrong. The guidebook lacked useful information about how to get places, how to orient self, and hours of an establishment. Also, the guidebook was judgmental. I think it is the worst guidebook I've ever used.

Beware!.......2002-08-04

Many of the things that I tried to do in Beijing failed because the book was inaccurate. Because there has been a lot of construction and renovation in the city since this book was published in January 2001, Lonely Planet's Beijing is already out of date.

Very Disappointing.......2002-06-10

As a fan of LP I was very dissapointed in this book. It seems like the person who wrote this book has been living in China for a while and is not particularly interested in seeing the sites around town. There were plenty of places to eat, stay and party, but not a lot about the amazing things to see in Beijing.
For examply it had good instructions on how to get to the summer palace, but no info on what you were looking at once you were there, compared to Egypt guide (for example) where you could happily wander around a temple and happily feel that you don't need a tour guide to tell you anything, the Beijing guide had a paragraph or two saying this building and that building are nice.
Also very dissapointing was the history section, As the capital city of a coutry with so much history, old and new, I think that it deserved more than 3 pages.

Actually, Not Bad!.......2002-01-26

I found the 2000 version of this guide to be indispensable on a recent trip.

Beijing is a city with an incredible amount of things to do and thanks to this guide I was able to get around with ease. The information on attractions was accurate and detailed. For instance it tells you exactly which window sells Forbidden City admission tickets, the exact corner where you can catch a bus to the Badaling Great Wall etc... In addition it had some great recommendations such as the Lao She Tea House.

The maps in this guide were not very detailed but were adequate as long as you stuck to the major streets and attractions. One thing the maps have going for them is that major street and places of interest are labeled with Chinese characters, making communication with Taxi drivers a lot easier.

The description of the airport shuttle bus routes is confusing - it could have been so much easier had they drawn the bus route on the map.

The restaurant recommendations are lame and inaccurate and a couple of the hotels that it mentions were already out of business.

Book Description

The dignified and opulent city of Beijing has long captured the imagination of the traveller with its forbidden palaces, Emperors and exotic food, wrapped in a history of intrigue and mystery. Today, its traditional roots remain, but Beijingers are busy perfecting ther arts of shopping, designing, building- climbing the economic ladder and enjoying the views ahead.
