3.0 out of 5 stars rather disappointing but useful, 19 May 2004

By	"static1635" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hong Kong and Macau (Lonely Planet City Guide) (Paperback)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Heavyweight holiday research, 13 Jul 1999

By A Customer

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide, 21 Oct 2005

By	Luc REYNAERT (Beernem, Belgium) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Hong Kong and Macau (Lonely Planet City Guide) (Paperback)

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 2005 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.
