Beijing Travel Map: China Regional Maps 2005/2006 Edition - Detailed Tourist Guide for Exploring Beijing Attractions | Perfect for Trip Planning & Navigation

After looking at various maps of Beijing, I chose this map. Unlike other maps, this one has name of most of the streets in using our familiar alphabet system and in Chinese characters. The map is easy to read and has many locations such as hotels, shopping centers, embassies, and restaurants. I only wish it was laminated so that it would be more resistant to tearing at the folds.Of all the maps we have used during our trip to Beijing this has been the most useful. It is very detailed, covers most parts of the city, outlines the subway system, is durable and folds up nicely for carying.I got separated from my tour group and using this map (with a non English speaking tour guide) I found my way back to my hotel.Very good map. Lots of details and Chinese transcriptions. The only week point is that it lacks a metro map, but it is not a big deal.
