Reviews

[Anuradha Baliga]

As always this book too has detailed travel ideas and places to visit . Also included is a side trip to Macau which I did not use . The places to eat was also useful

Don't buy

No pictures. The "full color" part is for the red headings and the lovely fonts. Who travels, wants others to travel, and has no pictures?

[Holly Hunt]

For the high-class traveler who wants a taste of the culture but a more thorough dip in Hong Kong's exaggerated luxury lifestyle. If you follow this guide, you'll spend a lot of money and have a good time -- but I don't think you'll be able to say you've see the real Hong Kong. There are much better guides.

[L]

Detailed with good tips. A very comprehensive guide with pull out guide. This is better than Lonely Planet in my opinion. It's organized by Things to Do, Shop and Eat rather than region.
