Beijing is one of the largest cities in the world, and it is impossible to see everything in 72 hours. Where do you go first? What do you want to see and do the most?

Extremely helpful

This audiobook makes me want to go to Beijing. The only reason I keep doing other places instead is because it's extremely difficult to get a self-drive car hire. I think this is partly Beijing's way of keeping tabs on you.

Well organized plan

‘Beijing in 72 Hours’ by Grizzly Publishing is informative and well organized. I like the write ups for the various areas and the sights to see or places to eat. Something that I appreciate more and more though is that the Fodor writers will insert a little info that may be a turn off. It isn't overdone but those little bits of info does help in planning.

Highly recommended!

I especially like the tips for things like getting around and timing, as I find that is where searching online can be less than helpful. Highly recommended!

Very detailed!

I am an obsessive planner when it comes to anything, especially travel. It is easy to get overwhelmed when searching online, especially for an overseas trip! That is the real value of a audiobook like this - it is a good starting point, and also provides much more detail than you may be able to find yourself.

Valuable listen!

Well, Beijing is on my bucket list! And this audiobook, Grizzly Publishing's Beijing in 72 Hours, is a great appetizer. Obviously, Beijing is a big place, and no one guide audiobook can cover everything. But being a seasoned traveler, I can recognize a valuable reference time, and this one is it.

Highly recommend

It's convenient in addition to apps, etc. Great for sticking in a purse, listening in transit. Bought two others for Australia and Brazil and they got me to all the top sites and helped me identify some great spots off the beaten track - highly recommend.
