Zhao Shanghai, China Travel Guide - 2009 (Zhao Cards)

Say goodbye to bulky guidebooks. Zhao Cards are city guides made up of 99 detachable pocket-sized cards and a weather-proof map - you can carry the whole pack or simply unclip the sections you need for the day. Each self-contained card tells you all you need to know about a sight, restaurant, shop, bar, or place to go out. The front lists essential information like the address, phone, website, opening hours, and how to get there, including Chinese-language instructions you can show taxi drivers. The review on the back gives you the low-down on each place, including useful tips on what to see, do, or order from the menu. Vital Chinese vocabulary and expert territorial advice mean you experience Shanghai like a local, no matter how short your stay. Each guide comes in a nifty box with a cover illustration by a young local artist. Five reproductions of their work are included on cards within. Zhao Cards: the art of traveling light.
