Hi,
I am moving to Beijing in a few weeks. I lived in China before and I already own Lonely Planet China.
Is it worth it to but Lonely Planet Beijing? Does it add much beyond what is LP-China?
Thanks
lonely planet beijing is more in-depth about beijing than the LP China tome. However, if you're planning an extended stay, you really ought to pick up a copy of the Insider's Guide to Beijing 2007. You can order it on Amazon or wait till you get here to pick up a copy. We wrote it and it is geared more towards residents than the LP is. (read more at www.immersionguides.com).
