This is a great resource! With travel publications geared to most every special interest, this gay/lesbian-specific guide to China is an invaluable edition. Fun to read too. I think it would be indispensable to GLBT travelers interested in exploring uncharted territories with newly emergent, hard-to-find gay culture and communities. When traveling, I have always consulted the UTOPIA website for guidance, advice and off-the-beaten-path suggestions. As a person interested in culturally sensitive tours and alternatives to typical tourist-traps, I am really excited about taking this guidebook along on my very next trip! Thanks Utopia! -- J.M.

"In a sign that China's great wall of denial about homosexuality is cracking, the first printed guide to gay life in dozens of Chinese cities has been published by Utopia. With honest, detailed descriptions of hotels, restaurants, bars and baths, as well as insights into local culture, the bilingual guide offers recommendations, tips and warnings for the international gay traveler. Quotations from actual visitors round out the descriptions, providing first hand impressions about the gay scene in the various cities. In perhaps the most telling example of how far China has come, one contributor lists several Beijing Starbucks outlets as the best places to meet professional gay men." -- IN Los Angeles Magazine
