Review of Fodor's Hong Kong, 20th Edition: With Macau and the South China Cities (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)

My husband purchased and took this book with him last month to Hong Kong and Macau and found it most helpful.

Product 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
