What's Inside Sherman's Travel Magazine Spring Issue 2007

INSIDER'S GUIDE TO LONDON: MAXIMIZE YOUR DOLLAR BY "GOING LOCAL"
Despite its famously steep prices, London is the top European destination for Americans so far this year, according to Expedia. Proving that it's possible to find great value in one of the word's most expensive cities, Sherman's Travel reveals how "going local" in London can help maximize your dollar. In this 12-page, insider's tour of six up-and-coming neighborhoods – from the arty Hoxton & Shoreditch to the hip and historic Clerkenwell – Sherman's Travel takes readers to undiscovered gastropubs, hotels, and shops where the prices are worth it and local life thrives.

CHINA 101: MAKING CHINA MANAGEABLE…AND UNFORGETTABLE
Although it's the fourth most-visited country in the world (and on track to be number one within the next decade), China, with its numerous languages and fragile tourist infrastructure, remains a challenge for most western travelers. Making it manageable for first-time visitors, Sherman's Travel shows readers how to have an authentic and unforgettable China experience in its three gateway cities: upscale Shanghai, cosmopolitan Hong Kong, and ancient Beijing, in addition to "off the path" excursions worth exploring. Plus: Four "Smart Splurges," from the Great Wall Villa to the breathtaking meal and view at Shanghai's Jade. P. 80
