Synopsis
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 inserts: 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.

Customer Reviews

Disappointing
I always opt for a rough guide when travelling but this one failed to hit the mark. The way it was sectioned was confusing - with a seperate "listings" section at the back for places to eat, shop etc rather than it being included under each geographical district. I gave up using it very quickly and relied on the much smaller but easier to manage "Lonely planet Hong Kong Encounter" with pull out map instead. I also bought the Rough Guide DIRECTIONS: Hong Kong & Macau and would recommend it more than this book as the sections are less confusing!
