Glamorous hotels and shopping arcades, serene Buddhas, joss sticks and haute couture - this is Hong Kong, a city of endless contrasts. Wander down narrow alleys of stalls brimming with discount clothes; explore the early morning markets; take afternoon tea while enjoying a breathtaking view of the famous harbour. Hong Kong cannot be summarized with a short list of well-known sights - its magic is in the streets - and this book offers a superb general introduction to the best this fascinating blend of East and West has to offer.
This fully revised and well illustrated 2nd edition of Burma intelligently evokes the magic and mystery of what was once the richest nation in Asia. Practical information on visas, customs, food and shopping is included.'
