The Rough Guide to Hong Kong & Macau - Edition 6

by Jules Brown

Explore every corner of two of Asia’s most exciting destinations with the fully-revised sixth edition of the Rough Guide to Hong Kong and Macau. From shopping on ‘The Golden Mile’ to the Ten Thousand Buddha’s Monastery - inspired by dozens of photos - the 20-page, full colour introduction highlights all the ‘things-not-to-miss’. In addition, there are two brand-new, 4-page, full-colour ‘Cantonese Cuisine’ and ‘Architecture’. The guide includes a new ‘author’s pick’ section of the very best hotels and restaurants, plus up-to-date listings of all the top bars, clubs and shops, to suit all budgets. The section on Macau has been completely revised and extended and there are detailed chapters on Hong Kong’s background from post-handover politics to feng shui and Chinese Astrology. The guide comes complete with maps and plans for both regions.

best guide I could have chosen! I spent 5 months in HK and this was so useful, all tips and descriptions, maps of certain areas. Recommend to everyone wha wants to explore Hong Kong, all the tourist stuff, but also something more.

probably a bit better than the typical Rough Guide guide. This book has some useful detail but was most helpful to steering me to essential websites.

Could do with more colour pics.
