China Survival Guide: How To Avoid Travel Troubles and Mortifying Mishaps, Revised Edition

“The problems we talk about are for the most part neglected by most travel guidebooks. We tell you what hassles and headaches you might encounter and how to best deal with them. . . . If you should find yourself in a potentially awkward situation, we hope that we can get you out of it with very little drama.”-from the introduction

Originally released in time for the China Olympics, this little book immediately caught on with first-time and seasoned travelers thanks to its compact format, affordability, and reliable information delivered with savvy humor. The authors have now improved their work with new sections on critical issues like air travel and appropriate clothing, lots of data updates and fresh recommendations, plus all-new photographs and captions to make the book even more fun to browse. Uniquely designed to address all the travails of being a foreign tourist in China, it includes practical checklists on transportation, lodging, walking, haggling, medical and bathroom emergencies, etiquette, crowds, and learning the twin arts of patience and persistence.

Here are just a few examples of this title’s many unsolicited rave online reviews:

“Oh my gosh, the book’s description of the crazy drivers, the toilets, the waiting in line, was so helpful.”—Houston, TX

“I have been to China fourteen times, but still learned so much from this book.”—Platte, SD

“I just returned from ten days in China and this book was by far my favorite.”—Bainbridge Island, WA

Larry Herzberg and Qin Herzberg are professors of Chinese language and culture at Calvin College in Michigan. They travel to China every year, and have been featured travel experts on MSNBC and other outlets.

London (EYEWITNESS TRAVEL GUIDE)

London (EYEWITNESS TRAVEL GUIDE)

  • ISBN13: 9780756669171
  • Condition: New
  • Notes: BRAND NEW FROM PUBLISHER! 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Tracking provided on most orders. Buy with Confidence! Millions of books sold!

DK Eyewitness Travel’s full-color guidebooks to hundreds of destinations around the world truly show you what others only tell you. They have become renowned for their visual excellence, which includes unparalleled photography, 3-D mapping, and specially commissioned cutaway illustrations. DK Eyewitness Travel Guides are the only guides that work equally well for inspiration, as a planning tool, a practical resource while traveling, and a keepsake following any trip.

All DK Eyewitness Travel Guides to cities now include a new durable, oversized pull-out map with useful transportation information, a distance chart, a street and sight index, and practical information for getting around the city.The essence of London, found “in the swing, tramp, and trudge; in the bellow and uproar; the carriages, motor cars, omnibuses, vans, sandwich men shuffling and swinging; brass bands; barrel organs; in the triumph and the jingle and the strange high singing of some aeroplane overhead…” (Mrs. Dalloway), is ably conveyed in the visual burst of Dorling Kindersley’s London guide. This compact book is filled to overflowing with a montage of timelines, street maps, 3-D aerial views, district maps, cutaways of important buildings–including Buckingham Palace and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre–and more than 1,200 full-color photographs.

Like all of DK’s books, this reference is overwhelming when you first crack open the pages. There’s so much information, you almost don’t know where to start. Lucky for tourists, London‘s editors kept a steady eye on usability when they organized the book. It begins with a short history (mostly conveyed in images) and then moves to an extensive section on the sights and sounds of the city by the Thames. The aim is to give you a “portrait” of each area before divulging the details, of which there is no lack. If you’re worried about the practicalities of the trip, fear not: London is on your side. A section on travelers’ needs and a handy survival guide–including instructions, complete with photographic aides, on how to use different types of public telephones–should eliminate any apprehension about exploring this wondrous city. Perhaps the most useful feature for those on the go who want portable information, and for those who hate to haul out maps in public (“Hey! I’m a tourist!”), is the “Street Finder,” a comprehensive index of street names and 24 pages of corresponding maps. Small enough to fit in your backpack, London is the guide to grab before hopping on the Underground. –Heidi Robinson
