About the Guidebook

The Beijing Improbable Guidebook is the first modern foreign-language guidebook designed for the tourist or first-time visitor to Beijing that is produced in China and able to be widely distributed in Beijing (beyong foreign language bookshops).

Our advantages

We are solving the difficulties encountered by foreign tourists:
  • Verbal communication barrier and Chinese-style English on signage
  • Few official tourist information centers to support independent travellers
  • Domestic group travel is directed towards tourist traps and shopping destinations
  • Beijing is too big and complex to be detailed in a single sheet map
  • Foreign tourists should not be expected to know all about China's historical background

We can provide a better travel experience

  • we recommend the most straightforward route and the efficient metro subway
  • we break down the attractions of Beijing into precincts, making every visit time efficient.
  • our book is light attractive, pocket size and easy to carry
  • Sinomaps has direct access to official and accurate cartographic information
  • unlike the heavily-detailed and opinionated travel guide books written overseas, we are more focused on efficiency and rapid knowledge
  • unlike the domestic guidebooks in Chinese, we understand the real needs of foreign tourists
  • unlike travel and expatriate magazines, we provide comprehensive and clear planning for all types of excursions
