Immersion Guides' Mandarin Phrasebook (English and Chinese Edition)	My favourite phrase book in Beijing.
	Insider's Guide to Beijing 2008	Excellent guide book to Beijing - great for students and expats. Very comprehensive!
	Streetwise Guide Beijing: The Inside Scoop from Local and International Experts	Another excellent guidebook. I used it extensively and took it everywhere.
	China (Country Guide)	This is one book I wish I had. It's not available in China, so if you think you might need it, you'd better get it before you go.
