Walk Beijing

Walk Beijing, the second book in Suzy Guides series is devoted to exploring 'off-the-beaten paths' in the heart of Beijing. Author and travel chronicler Annie Coburn clearly understands the frustration of many travelers at having too many options. Walk Beijing's self-paced selections enable travelers to see the best and most unusual parts of Beijing while accomodating the busy schedules of 2008 Olympics attendees.

Combining maps with historical tidbits, Walk Beijing offers five different walks with options ranging from all-day treks to smaller selections applicable to a variety of schedules. The series mascot "Suzy" shows up frequently, guiding walkers with scheduling tips, points of interest, and cultural trivia to make this intimidating city more accessible to first- time and even frequent visitors.

With its aesthetically pleasing layout by Lorin Bruckner and carefully selected options based on months of on-site research, Walk Beijing is as informative as it is easy to follow. It is one of the least daunting travel guides available to date.

Walk Beijing is available for sale online at Amazon.com, BookSurge.com and through additional booksellers.
