Odyssey Beijing & Shanghai - Beijing & Shanghai, China's Hottest Cities.China's drive into the 21st century has been fueled by the relationship - and competition - between Beijing, its ancient political and cultural capital, and Shanghai, its economic growth engine.
But as Beijing bounds forward to host the 2008 Olympic Games, its majesty, well reflected in its cultural gems - the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, and the Ming Tombs - remains uneclipsed by the country's economic development. This vibrant second edition of Beijing & Shanghai brings readers up-to-date on what's hot and what's cool in China's twin cities.
Combining the latest information about restoration, entertainment, transportation, and accommodation with historical writing, Beijing & Shanghai is the sophisticated guide to urban China that travelers have always wanted.
