Guides to China

Although, of course, some guide books are not very good, when it comes to the thorough, well researched, well thought-out ones, it is generally a matter of personal taste and individual experience whether the books give you what you need or not. For that reason, we are not, as such, recommending guide books: we are simply showing you what is available. We have not used all of these guides ourselves but we have researched what has had good reviews on Amazon and narrowed down the search for you. When you click on the "buy this now from Amazon" link, you can read all the reviews of that book and make up your own mind whether it will be useful to you.

If you are planning a trip to China and you live in or near Manchester, come to us and learn a bit of the language before you go! It will enhance your trip no end. Click here to read about our flexible, one-to-one Chinese courses.
