Summary: A good Travel Book
Review: For a travel guide, I rate this book 5 stars. A book on China Rail, it's not! There's 1 chapter on the history of Railways in China but no photos of trains. I was looking for a book on "China Rail" and found this.

Well laid out with Rail Maps showing different sections of the country and then the chapters following give the "travel guide" for that section. The usual "where to go, what to do and see" stuff.

A more appropriate title should have been "Traveling China by Rail" It's misleading for someone looking for a railroad book.

Rating:
Summary: Not a good book at all
Review: Pretty shallow book. Not good for railfan or travellers. For travellers, one can find much better information some where else. For railfans, it is more disappointing. I don't recommend this book.
