Pocket Rough Guide Hong Kong & Macau (Travel Guide) (Pocket Rough Guides)

This little book (and its compact size - what a boon!) turned out to be an indispensable guide on my first return trip to HK after uprooting to Chicago at 3-years-old. With no living relatives left in the city, I had to find my way on my own - and this little gem of a book helped me every step of the way. Highly recommend it!

Rough Guides are never a disappointment, but they also aren't mind blowing in details or information you can't find on TripAdvisor or other sites. Before discovering Moncole Travel Guide Series, I would without hesitation give Rough Guide 5/5 stars.....but then I found Moncole's Hong Kong and it truly deserves the 5 star rating. I like Rough Guide as a supplement to any travel guide I take with us for several reasons. Compact size to throw into a day bag or purse, easy to navigate chapters as they are laid out by neighborhoods, "Best of," and in particular with Rough Guide Hong Kong the key phrases or signs in several languages. This guide also has a very beneficial map that is removable and ideal if you just need a map to navigate the streets of Hong Kong. Mass transit clearly marked, and several new features to this edition make it useful for a first time visitor (such as me) to Hong Kong.

Good, compact book. It was useful for my trip!One tip was out of date though -- it said the Bank of China had an observation floor open to the public. When we went they said it had been closed for 2 years now.

I think this little book will be just right for finding restaurants and other sightseeing places in Hong Kong

This book is recommended because it fits in your back pocket, and it comes with a removable map of Hong Kong Island with Macau. It has a small color subway guide as well. it has sturdy plastic lamination on the cover and jackets.It is perfect for 2-3 days in Hong Kong, and has general recommendations about popular places to visit and eat and stay. It is a fair product to get you around the basic places with good transport information. It is not meant as a comprehensive guide. That is the larger book by Rough Guide.

The book was okEasy read

Very informative. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my trip due to a family emergency.

This was compact and had just enough information for each spot. I did have another guide that was more thorough, but they did pack a lot into a small, portable book. The maps of the city and the outlying areas was also very handy. I would recommend this for a tourist traveling to Hong Kong.

La utilicé para un viaje a Hong Kong y vi que la información es buena, tanto para la preparación del viaje, como para su uso localmente. En nuestro caso, teníamos intención de ir también a Macao, por lo que la combinación de ambos lugares en una misma guía, resulta muy interesante.

It is okay, not very informative but has maps.

Decent guide book but I did panic when I read the prices initially - they didn't specify that they were talking about HK dollars, just used the $ sign...Also the area where I stayed was not on the map (Sai Ying Pun) even though it's not that far out, nor was it mentioned in the various sections. Most of the info was reliable though!

A perfect pocket guide for a few days in Hong Kong.Plenty of up to date information which gives us plenty of scope to fill in our short time here

Very acceptable
