HONG KONG (ENCOUNTER)

The Hong Kong Encounter guide gives you twice the city in half the time. Hook into the city''s high-voltage pace - bounce from wet markets to the Happy Valley Racecourse, from yum cha and Taoist temples to sleek skyscraper bars. This pared-down number is ideal for quick trips - it''s less accommodation, more neighbourhood highlights and the best of local knowledge. - Full-colour pull-out map and detailed neighbourhood maps. - Cantonese script for restaurants, bars and hotels - indispensable in a city where taxi drivers don''t speak English. - Expanded spa and massage coverage § The best of Macau.
