Traveller's Aid - Rated
Such is the restless dynamism of Hong Kong, that even this 2005 guide was slightly overtaken by the time I travelled there in May 2006. However, it remains very useful. This slimmed down version has the added merit of having had to avoid, with one or two exceptions, the usual "professional traveller" politically correct rant which often seems to come with this kind of publication (and which is even more egregious in the Rough Guides and satellite TV guides such as City Cabs).
Naturally, there could be a few improvements here and there: Kowloon Walled City Park is only a 15 minute walk from Lok Fu MTR if you are fitter than I am and one can take a cheap bus ride there from Lof Fu bus station anyway. Likewise, a lifesaving tip would be to add that one can avoid the Indian copy watch and tailor touts on southern Nathan Road by simply going down into the airconditioned tunnels of the Tsim sha Tsui MTR and connecting tunnels, all very clean, safe and free of those nuisances; the tunnels go a long way down Nathan Road and have various exits. They also enable the visitor to avoid the fumes of traffic and the humid heat.
One might also quibble about some of the comments in this guidebook (example:I found Macao not so charming, in fact rather depressing, though it must have been pleasant 50 years ago) but overall, this is a highly recommended work. Especially good is the interface between the text and the enclosed and easy-to-use maps.
