Title: Full of inaccuracies, sloppy, not worth buying
Product review: I have always had a very good impression with Lonely Planet travel guidebooks. However, this guide really changes my mind. It is the worst LP guide book that I have ever read. It is full of inaccuracies and is sloppily-written. There are just too many mistakes littering around the book. Those sections of the book that deal with the Chinese history are particularly poorly-written, showing the authors' severe lack of research in the subject. Throughout the book, the authors also show a total lack of respect and understanding for the local population and culture. The 1-star rating I give is due to the large quantity of maps available in the book.
