Book Reviews of Shanghai Travel Map: 3rd Edition (Periplus Travel Maps)
Book Review: As good as it gets!
Summary: 5 Stars
OK, it doesn't have your hotel marked on it. Nor is it likely to show the restaurant that your guide recommends. But it does have something that most of the other maps don't - street names in English and Chinese. Maps of Chinese cities are USELESS without this, and you will find that few, if any, of the popular tourist guides or maps of Chinese cities seem to have learned that simple fact. Or perhaps they are just too busy inserting those little symbols for hotels, restaurants, and tourist sites to bother making the map useful once you actually arrive in China.
I have lived in Shanghai for a year now and I still take this map with me anytime I go out to a place I haven't been before. It has gotten me to places I otherwise never would have found; it has helped me find my way back to subways when I've been lost; and I have also been able to use it with taxi drivers (who don't speak a word of English) to show them where I want to go. My mantra has become: "Don't leave home without it!"
For what it's worth, this map has made me a fan of Periplus Maps.
