If you plan to be heading out to Shanghai, China in the near future, chances are you’re going to want to have some sort of Shanghai travel guide book with you.

There are already plenty of great China travel guide books and even other city-specific Beijing guide books or Hong Kong travel books.

If you will be spending most of your time in and around Shanghai, though, it’s often better to grab something smaller, more compact and more detailed on Shanghai city.

Fortunately there are quite a few options available and each of them caters to a different type of traveler. Here’s a quick look at the top 5 Shanghai travel guide books:Lonely Planet, the leader in travel guides, not only has a comprehensive guide to China, they have also produced a stand-alone LP Shanghai city guide book.

What’s great is that they offer this guide both as a physical book you can hold and a downloadable ebook for your Kindle.

Lonely Planet Shanghai offers insights into suggested itineraries, traveling with kids, day trips around Shanghai, cultural insights, etc. The physical book comes with a foldout map while the ebook offers high-resolution offline maps as well as links to online Google Maps (a nifty little feature).It’s worth noting that Lonely Planet also offers a similar Shanghai Pocket Guide that covers the highlights of the city. It doesn’t give as much detail, but if you’re only going to spend a day passing through the city you might not need all the detail.

What’s great about using the DK Eyewitness Travel guide for your Shanghai trip is that not only do you get one of the most beautifully-illustrated guides available, you also get help with travel to Beijing.

Since it’s now easy to travel from Shanghai to Beijing via high speed train, it’s perfectly reasonable to assume that you can hit both major cities in the same journey.

The DK guides never go into quite as much detail as the Lonely Planet guides, preferring instead to focus energy on the sites you’ll most likely want to visit while you’re here.

The guide walks you through a 4-day itinerary at each city that makes the best use of your time, especially if that time is limited. Combine the 4-day itineraries of both Beijing and Shanghai in this book and you’ve got the perfect 10-day itinerary (including travel).

The book can be purchased as a flexi-bound guide (easier to travel with) or as a Kindle book if that’s your flavor (just like their guide for the country of China does). Thankfully, their physical books weigh in at less than 1 lb, so it won’t be a monster to carry along.
