你要去哪里?

StarryNight · Post by **StarryNight** » 2008-02-11 23:04

在考虑新西兰和夏威夷。

不过发这个帖子是因为各个游记都有自己的特点，比如 Rough Guide 比较适合背包族，我想听听大家平时喜欢看那些系列，为什么。

I use "Let's Go" a lot for its cheapie recommendations. But they aren't always spot on.

我在美国国内和中国国内没用过旅游手册,信息铺天盖地. 欧洲用RICK STEVE'S, 因为他是我们老乡, 整天开讲座. 不过他主观性很强. 还买过两本LONELY PLANET和FODOR"S, 中规中矩.

EyeWitness series are very nice, but dead heavy to carry.

In a way, browsing through travel guide or food review is like meeting people in a party. Some 中规中矩 but not entertaining to read

, some 主观性很强 but might not suit our taste.

我喜欢LONELY PLANET。Footprint 看别人评价好像不大好。EyeWitness 大概比较适合城市里使用。

我喜欢这种比较详细，适合提前做功课的

，看完自己写笔记。

我一般用DK Eyewitness，贪其漂亮。但它的缺点是图多文字少，不能算详细。

夏威夷用蓝宝书就可以了。每个岛一本，封面是蓝色的，印着岛的地图。不过要买最新的，因为那里的trail经常改变。

PBS前段时间放过Rick Steve's的video，一般，但是这个摄影组可是真简练，就像他的书一样，非常实用实际。

我用过Frommer's，满一般的。Lonely Planet有些太罗索了，可能已经不作backpacker了，很多用不上。DK系列适合还没去的时候以及回来以后看

我用过National Georgraphic's Traveler，和DK的eye wittness 相比，文字内容更丰富些，图也是很多。平时翻看也是享受。对景色历史介绍得多，餐馆食物什么的介绍的少些。
