This new fast-track title highlights what's best about Hong Kong in an easy-to-use format. Special features help travelers tailor their trips:
Neighbourhoods:
Three- to six-page profiles describe places of interest; set the contemporary scene; and give historical highlights, bits of trivia, and at-a-glance geography. Indexes of sights, restaurants, shops, and more convey all there is to see and do.
Experiences:
The city's best sights, sounds, and smells all in one place. Illustrated vignettes highlight the biggest draws - and how best to experience them.
Magazine-style 'In Focus' sections include:
- All the Tea in China: Culture in a Cup
- Philosophies, Beliefs, and Lucky Charms
- Tailor-Made to Suit You
- 21st Century China
Shopping and More Shopping:
Expanded coverage gives readers the insider scoop on where and, more importantly, how to get the goods in this prime shopping town.
Golf Chapter:
Each of the major courses - several of which are world class - in Hong Kong, Macau, and the Pearl River Delta is fully profiled.
Side Trips:
Macau, an hour from Hong Kong by jetfoil, was once a Portuguese colony. It remains a haunt for Portuguese and other visitors, who came to gamble, eat, drink, and be merry. If the label says "Made In China" chances are it's from one of the cities in the Pearl River Delta: Zhongshan, Zhuhai, Guangzhou, Foshan, or Shenzen. It's an area both steeped in history and moving forward.
