Beijing in your pocket!
Great guide book with lots of good recommendations, especially for restaurants and long walks - the last one of these takes you out of the way and provides a v. different view of the City than the usual sights.

A userful guide with some shortcomings
To begin with, readers should know that this guide was severly pared down, which explains why there are so few budget hotels and budget restaurants listed. Many section writers knew plenty of cheaper hotels and restaurants, but due to space limitations the decision was made by the publisher to list only the upper-level accomodations. This is partly because Frommer's really isn't geared towards ...
