Page edges are color-tipped--a different color for each section--so that on-the-go travelers can refer to any one of 17 separate general topics and find the information they're looking for in a hurry. Color-coded topics include: - Culture and customs
- Making travel arrangements in Chinese
- Words and phrases for telling time, days of the week, seasons, and colors
- Getting around in China via public transit, driving, or bicycling
- Food and dining
- Cultural sites, such as museums, theaters, and sports arenas
- Many others
A substantial red-coded section in this book is devoted to vocabulary. It gives travelers a bilingual dictionary in two sections--from Chinese to English and from English to Chinese. Small enough for easy packing with travel luggage, and featuring a clear, vinyl jacket that will stand up to the wear and tear of many journeys, this book is both practical and good-looking. Here are language and culture guides that both first-time tourists and seasoned travelers will appreciate. Paperback 263 pages - 4" x 7" - (10/05)
