Travel-app experts Sutro Media have teamed up with Lonely Planet author and long-time Beijing resident Daniel McCrohan to create this highly acclaimed city app.

Daniel personally researches, writes and regularly updates every single review. Sutro Media then turns his work into an eye-catching, user friendly app that helps people get off the usual tourist trail and into the heart of true Beijing.

Use this App to:
* eat with the locals using unique menu-decoders
* find back-alley bars and live-music venues that arent in your guidebook
* buy discount vouchers for top city sights
* get to the Great Wall by bus!

Dont speak Chinese?
Dont worry. This App includes:

* Chinese characters for all names and addresses
* photos of those tough-to-find places that only have Chinese signage
* special menu decoders (did we mention them?) that have been specifically compiled for each restaurant that doesnt have an English menu.

Whats else?

* Offline maps and content - no connection required!
* Search by price, location or category.. to find exactly want you want.
* Send YOUR OWN comments to the author to be part of the next update.
* More than 1200 original photos to inspire you before and during your trip.

Beijing on a Budget only costs $2.99, but if youre still not sure you can now TRY BEFORE YOU BUY.. by downloading the free version first, then, if you like the look of what you see (you will), upgrade to the full version afterwards.

Daniel is a highly experienced travel writer and China expert who fell in love with Beijing in 2005 and has called it his home ever since.

Daniel has worked as an author on more than a dozen Lonely Planet guidebooks, including the city guides to Beijing and Shanghai as well as three editions of Lonely Planet China. He has written online guides to China for World Travel Guide and for the childrens website Oddizzi. His travel articles appear regularly on BBC Travel, cnn.com and lonelyplanet.com.
