Book Reviews of Shanghai (City Guide)
Book Review: Out of Date
Summary: 3 Stars
As of June 2007, this book has become out of date. Many of the shikumen houses that I went to visit have been torn down in Shanghai in an effort to modernize the city by 2010 for the World Expo. Maps of the metro subways are also out of date. The book currently has partial maps of the 2 lines. There are now 5 different subway lines and still many more to be built. This book is a great introduction to Shanghai, but it is out of date (just like pretty much all the other books on the city).
To sum it up, pretty good book, but just don't count on the book being your only source of information on Shanghai.
