Wall worth it!
Excellent. This book was the ideal travel companion for my husband and I on our recent trip to see the Wall. Solid on explanations and directions - superb menu translations for the "Hot Pot" - kept us well fed even in the more remote areas. Si Ma monestary is a must see - and my only (small) critique is that the book might include a bit more on similar locations. Western China isn't easy even for the intrepid traveller, but bringing this guide certainly helped.
