Feelings: 

This travel guide was very helpful when traveling in Yunnan Province in China. It was easy to use, and the tips were helpful. We spent most of our time in Kunming and the book helped us find many places to visit and eat. When we left Kunming and traveled to Guilin in Guangxi Provide, the book was again helpful. We ended our trip in Beijing and the book included a section for our time in Beijing.

If you are primarily visiting China's Southwest I highly recommend this book.
