Description
Is there any place more contemporary and timeless than Hong Kong? The country’s 8 million residents are sailing rapidly into the new millennium in dragon boats. Modern commercial temples rise not far from ancient Buddhist ones. Brand-new boutiques offer retail therapy, while age-old markets tender more time-tested treatments. Fodor’s Hong Kong 20th Edition takes readers straight to the best of the city–both the new and the old–with more wit and wisdom than ever.
– Brand-new illustrated features include topics such as “All the Tea in China: Culture in a Cup,” “Philosophies, Beliefs, and Lucky Charms,” “Traditional Prescription: Pins, Needles, and Pressure,” “Tailor-made to Suit You,” and more
– A fresh look at shopping and golf. Valuable insights from local gurus focus on what to shop for—and where and how—and what to avoid. In-depth course reviews make it easy to select the best places to play.
– New neighborhood coverage: Three-to-six page profiles describe places of interest, set the contemporary scene, and give historical highlights, bits of trivia, and at-a-glance geography
– Full-color pullout map
– 8-page color insert
– Includes side trips to Macau and other cities in the Pearl River Delta–an up-and-coming destination
