About Book

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.

Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

Well-researched and impeccably written, the Rough Guides are a great choice for anyone seeking to be an informed, prepared traveler. Due to the fantastic essays, the Rough Guides are as much fun for armchair travelers as they are for those actually on the road. Each edition comes with detailed maps, in-depth essays on the history and culture of each destination, a wide range of lodging options, and recommendations for off-the-beaten-path places to visit. The special attention paid to the writing is a boon for travelers, most of whom find themselves reading the guide cover to cover instead of just looking up their specific itineraries.
