Pocket Rough Guide Hong Kong & Macau is your essential guide to Hong Kong, with information on all the key sights in an an easy-to-use, pocket-size format and a full-color, pull-out map. This guidebook includes the lowdown on the shopping opportunities and cutting-edge architecture of Hong Kong's downtown, parks, and harborside cityscapes-all existing alongside traditional temples and street markets. Go further afield to appreciate the beaches, rural landscapes, and old walled villages of the New Territories, easy to reach in even a short visit, but often overlooked. Across the Pearl River, and close enough for day trips, Macau's eighteenth-century churches and lanes incongruously rub shoulders with ostentatious casinos. Pocket Rough Guide Hong Kong & Macau features inspirational photography and detailed, reliable maps that show you the best of the region. There are dining and entertainment reviews, too, from indigenous Macanese cuisine and the best places for traditional dim sum, to Lan Kwai Fong's bars and old colonial hotels that serve afternoon tea. Make the most of your time with Pocket Rough Guide Hong Kong & Macau.
