The Rough Guide to Hong Kong and Macau (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"I found this guide extremely useful for my short visit to Hong Kong and Macau on March 2002. However, I have to rate it with only 4 stars as the information was slightly outdated. This is of course a consequence of the two cities changing so rapidly in the last three years since this edition was first put on sale.
This is my first experience with a "Rough Guide" (I usually used the Michelin Green Guides where available) and I think I will consider these guides again for my next destination. One thing that I missed from the Rough Guide was some fotographs of the main places recommended for a visit. That would have been very useful in deciding what to visit and helpful to find the recommended attractions." If you are thinking about renting a Vacation Houses in Hong Kong, I would buy this book to take with you while in Hong Kong.

"Just returned from HK and the fact that my copy is completely battered, torn, with pages missing illustrates how much I used it.

Like all 'Rough Guides..' indispensable." Before renting a Alternative Vacation Apartment in Hong Kong, I would read this book.

"I purchased the guide because it seemed to give more background information than others I've seen such as Frommers. However, when we tried to use the maps to find our way around, we realized they were not well thought out, and were more confusing than helpful! Also, the restaurant section could be better organized, and give information such as price and address. We were frustrated over and over again with this guide." Before renting a Alternative Holiday Property in Hong Kong, I would buy this book to guide you round the local areas in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong and Macau (Lonely Planet City Guides) (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"I found this book very misleading in places. The maps should not be relied on as they can send you in the wrong direction. Some of the areas have very little information i.e. north point. Finding resturants with this book is quite hard. On the plus side there are some very good tips i.e. get an octopus card on arrival. It gives good advice on getting places i.e. Lantau Island (the big seated buddha) and for advice on transport it is very usefull. Most of the time if I needed information on where I was it came up with a few don't miss this sugestions. I would say: take this book along for advice, keep it with you when traveling... but don't really on it entirely: take along a second guide book and a better map for backup." This book has wonderfull information about Hong Kong. So take it with you when you Rent a Alternative Holiday House in Hong Kong.

"I am from HK and i think LPHK has many false informatin about HK. Opinion is bias. Accommodation information is limited. Not recommend to buy." Relax with this book when on Holiday in Hong Kong. It would be so handy when you Rent a Holiday House in Hong Kong.

"If you've bought a city guide to slip into your pocket whilst sightseeing, you might like to consider getting this book for a heavier and more comprehensive look at your destination. I remain amazed by the sheer volume of facts and detail which is crammed into the LP guides. Yet, a degree of caution is advised in consuming what is offered. Like any continually updated and upgraded guidebook, there are inaccuracies and I don't agree with some of the opinions offered on the merits or otherwise of parts of Hong Kong. For these reasons, I rate it a four star book. Either read it cover-to-cover or dip in via the index ; either method works!" Relax with this book when on Vacation in Hong Kong. It would be so handy when you Rent a Vacation Cottage in Hong Kong.

"This LP guide is a pretty good guide to HK and Macau. Being a foodie, I think their food guide section does not do HK's gastronomical scene justice! Beautiful food galore on the islands and LP can't even manage to cover half of that wonder. Oh well ;) Otherwise, it is quite a comprehensive guide to what's there to see around HK and Macau." Why not buy this book, and read while on your Alternative Holiday in Hong Kong. It would be so usefull when you Rent a Alternative Holiday Villa in Hong Kong.

"Steve Fallon is a perfect guide for walking tours, itinaries, transport (Octopus card), accomodation, eating and shopping in both ancient Western colonies.
He gives us also an excellent summary of their histories.
This guide has also a useful map section, although it was not possible to indicate all the street names.
With its wealth of practical, cultural and historical information, this guide is a necessary companion for all Hong Kong and Macau visitors. It served me every day during my stay in both Western enclaves. I found Hong Kong fascinating. I was there for the 2004 Film Festival which had an excellent program (especially the documentaries) and a perfect organization.
On the contrary, Macau was a big disappointment. It is still in shambles." This book has best information on Hong Kong, well worth reading if you renting a Vacation Villa in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong City Map (City Map) (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"The LP map of Hong Kong is a great help to me. It gives both an overview of the SAR territory including how to reach the outlying islands and a detailed plan of Hong Kong and Kowloon. All in all very useful for a visit to Hong Kong, especially because of its small size and plastic, rain resistant form" Before renting a Vocation or Holiday Cottage in Hong Kong, I would read this book while in Hong Kong.

"This is a nice map (actually set of maps of tourist areas and overview), but is is essentially the same as the maps that come inside the Lonely Planet Hong Kong condensed guidebook (inside the front and back covers). As I always had with me the condensed guidebook while in HK, the maps were superfluous." This book has best information on Hong Kong, well worth reading if you renting a Holiday House in Hong Kong.

"I bought this map expecting a street map for the whole of Hong Kong, as I will be moving there in the near future. The map only shows streets & tourist attractions for Kowloon, Central, Wan Chai & Causeway Bay. It doesnt cover the west, east or south side of Hong Kong Island at all, so is of very little use to me.

The roads, shopping malls & tourist attractions are clearly laid out, and the map is laminated so would be durable (although you can't write on it). It also contains a walking tour and a list of emergency phone numbers. So, a good map for the tourist areas, but not a comprehensive map of Hong Kong." Why not buy this book, and read while on your Holiday in Hong Kong. It would be so usefull when you Rent a Holiday Property in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong Insight Guide (Insight Guides S.) (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"This guide has some useful information on places to visit and sights to see, but for someone travelling on a budget, it not too helpful. All the advice on where to stay is for hotels (many over HK$1000) and not hostels or cheaper accommodation. However, I did visit a couple of restaurants recommended and they were very good, but this guide is best suited for families or people visiting Hong Kong on business." Before renting a Vocation or Holiday Casa in Hong Kong, I would buy this book to guide you round the local areas in Hong Kong.

"I found the guide to be quite good and conveniently compact. My one criticism is that information for a given area is in several different places in the book. For example, there is a section on Wan Chai as a tour, another for Wan Chai at night, another section under excursions, and then Wan Chai restaurants are listed in a fourth section, altho some are included in the previous sections. This made for a lot of page flipping back and forth. This should all be consolidated into one section on Wan Chai. I thought the info was very good, just a lot of page flipping ("Now, where did I see that?")" If you are thinking about renting a Vacation Villas in Hong Kong, I would buy this book to take with you while in Hong Kong.

"Aimed at the vacationer or business traveller, the strength of this guide is its guided walks/day trip itineraries...and in for a place whose coastline and skyline is forever changing, not to mention its complete change of sovreignty, the more up to date your guidebook the better!" Why not buy this book, and read while on your Holiday in Hong Kong. It would be so usefull when you Rent a Holiday Apartment in Hong Kong.

Not the Slightest Chance: The Defence of Hong Kong, 1941 (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"This book presents an hour by hour, day by day account of the fall of Hong Kong to the Japanese. It contains a very large amount of carefully researched detail, which enables the reader to feel that they were there watching. My father was taken prisoner there and as an account of the days of battle, with its minute detail referring to places and people I found it fascinating. Well referenced and indexed it really is the best cover of the subject.
I am looking forward to his next book which covers the sinking of the Lisbon Maru." This book has supper information about Hong Kong. So take it with you when you Rent a Vacation Villa in Hong Kong.

"Yes, brilliant, an overused phrase, but that's what we have here.

In future all copies of respectable dictionaries, encyclopia and other reference works will need to place a thumbnail icon of NtSC:TDoHK next to definitions of 'exhaustive' or 'comprehensive'. As a research tool it's invaluable, but it reads wonderfully well too, with a strong and compelling narrative force that's totally unique.

Heartily recommended." Before renting a Alternative Vacation Property in Hong Kong, I would read this book while in Hong Kong.

"This work reflects the enormous amount of research Tony Banham has done over the years covering a very specialist topic that few books have covered.
The highest praise I can give this work is that it deserves to be ranked shoulder to shoulder with the works of Oliver Lindsay and Tim Carew.
The Fall of Hong Kong was a low point in the second world war for the British Empire, and one that was acknowledged by Churchill as being a lost cause, hence his quote in the title.
Read in conjunction with Tony Banham's web site of the same name, this work will captivate historians and public alike. It is a work that deserves a wider audience, and the 4 star rating I have given this book reflects the cost, not the content." If you are thinking about renting a Vacation Properties in Hong Kong, I would buy this book to take with you while in Hong Kong.

"Until the release of this book, obtaining an accurate account of the fall of Hong Kong was near impossible. Through thousands of hours of meticulous research, Tony Banham brings the events of December 1941 to life. Many historical works give an overview; this work really brings the defence of Hong Kong to life by covering the finest details and offering a '1st person' account by the excellent use of diary style writing. Not just a book for those with a particular interst in Hong Kong. I think our Italian friend below must have read a different book with the same title..." This book has wonderfull information on Hong Kong, well worth reading if you renting a Vacation Casa in Hong Kong.

"One of the worst history books I ever read. Really it is not a book, but a laundry list. If you want to know who died at X hour the Y day or when airfield A has been strafed this is your book. If you want to understand the battle for Hong Kong this is not.
If you have not time to loose keep away; if you have time to loose it is better to find another way to loose it!
" Before renting a Vacation Apartment in Hong Kong, I would buy this book to guide you round the local areas in Hong Kong.

"As a Royal Rifles of Canada veteran of the Battle, the experience of over 60 years ago came to life for me from the pages of Tony Banham's book. Even visiting Hong Kong on two occasions since the debacle of December, 1941, did not add to my understanding of what had taken place as much as did the reading of the book. It will occupy a place of honour on my shelf." Before renting a Alternative Vacation Apartment in Hong Kong, I would read this book while in Hong Kong.
