Editorial Review: Product Description: Synopsis Explore every corner of two of Asia's most exciting destinations with the fully-revised sixth edition of the "Rough Guide to Hong Kong and Macau". From shopping on The Golden Mile' to the Ten Thousand Buddha's Monastery - inspired by dozens of photos - the 20-page, full-colour introduction highlights all the things-not-to-miss'. In addition, there are two brand-new, 4-page, full-colour inserts: Cantonese Cuisine' and Architecture'. The guide includes a new author's pick' section of the very best hotels and restaurants, plus up-to-date listings of all the top bars, clubs, and shops, to suit all budgets. The section on Macau has been completely revised and extended, and there are detailed chapters on Hong Kong's background, from post-handover politics to feng shui and Chinese Astrology. The guide comes complete with maps and plans for both regions. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Get the Frommers guideI didn't use a guide much while I was there but when I did, I found my Frommer's guide to be much more interesting, attractive and well structured. I never use a guide to find restaurants, hotels or any of the major tourist attractions, as I can do all of that on my own. But I count on my guides to lead me to interesting things that I would never see if I didn't have one - the out of the way spots. This book definitely didn't help me with that and most of the things that it includes ... Read More Rating:  - Great Walking ToursGreat walking tours are included in this Rough Guide to Hong Kong and Macau-the directions are explicit and easy to follow and the places to which we ventured exceeded expectations. There were GREAT shopping tips for a shopping mecca and we scored on several fronts! This is a great way to introduce yourself to Hong Kong and Macau before you get there and a great way to bring what you read into reality. A must-buy for travel to Asia. Rating: - Probably the best guide around for the budget traveler to Hong KongI used the sixth (2006) edition of the ROUGH GUIDE TO HONG KONG & MACAU during a recent two-week stay in Hong Kong. Reading it before my trip, I found it to portray Hong Kong as a fascinating and immense place to visit, where one can spend weeks covering all manner of out of the way places. This was a great contrast to the Berlitz guide to Hong Kong I also took along, which make the region seem like a two-day stop where the only interesting thing is shopping. There's a chapter each on Hong ... Read More Rating: - Very good overall guide of Hong Kong and MacauI recommend this guide, it was quite useful. The descriptions of various areas were quite accurate, and the maps were mostly very good. The one of Macau seemed to have some minor errors, but that place is very confusing to walk around, so it could have been me. Anyway, you want the maps in this book or something pretty good, because the free tourist map is basically worthless. I really like Rough Guides, because their reviews are very honest and balanced, and they are excellent ... Read More Rating: - Insight Guide HK and MacauThis book gives ou a nice overview of the region, and incredible specific tips for visiting HK and Macau.
