- Reviews:
- I bought this, along with the Rough guide to Hong Kong & Macau and the Rough guide DIRECTIONS: Hong Kong & Macau (as I couldn’t make up my mind which seemed best!) and have to say, this is the one I used on my trip. The pull out map is a lifesaver & I would have been completely lost without it. The book is divided up into sections by geographical area and then tells you what to see and do/where to eat and drink there. I found this much easier to use than the rough guide, which had an “eating” section – you then had to decide what type of food you were in the mood for and then see if any of the restaurants in that category were in the district you were visiting. Confusing! Obviously, the book is titchy which is great for stuffing in yourr pocket or bag but means there’s not a lot of detail. But if you’re just wanting to get pointed in the right direction and given a bit of background then you can’t beat this. It’s the only one of the 3 books I brought which I’ve a) used and b)would recommend.
Excellent book and good size (considering I was only in Hong Kong for a day and night it gave everything I needed), good quality, arrived in good time
