Hong Kong is a society that appears to be constructed almost entirely of concrete, steel and glass at first glance, but underneath is a constant whirling pageant of Chinese social and spiritual life. From its spectacular harborside commercial skylines and immense shopping plazas to its back-street bazaars, junk-fleets and Chinese temples, it is an exotic and sometimes bizarre partnership of past and future, East and West, hard-driving free enterprise and pure fun. "The Traveler's Hong Kong Companion" takes the reader and traveler on an intimately detailed step-by-step tour of Hong Kong - its society, history, culture, business life, tourist attractions, myriad restaurants and cuisines, charming outlying islands, and off-the-beaten-track places of interest.
