Top 10 Hong Kong (Pocket Travel Guide) Paperback – November 1, 2016

We recently just went to Hong Kong and this book was absolutely wonderful. It was used every day and made navigating the city so easy. The different categories of attractions was great as well. We stayed in 2 different areas and were able to do so many things that we didn't know about thanks to the book. I highly recommend this book to anyone traveling to Hong Kong. We have 3 children, and it had a whole "top ten" list of things to do with children and we ended up doing 6/10. The provided map was great too, as it allowed us to coordinate multiple things in a day that were near each other. All around this book gave us an even better experience.

This book made our trip wonderful! Every item they recommended in it was to die for that we saw. I had just 5 days to spend in Hong Kong, and I followed all the recommendations, and had a spectacular time. Aberdeen was a great hidden gem, so was Lamma Island, Victoria's Peak, the light show. The maps were invaluable. I never go wrong with DK travel books! Highly recommend them and getting an Octopus card. To improve - add more hotel information and more information on the ferry, bus and subway transportation. If you are going to Hong Kong, i would recommend researching hotels and the transportation using other sources than just this book.

I love the DK series of travel books for their ease of use, pictures, and maps. I have used many of their previous books including Paris, Amsterdam, London. Overall it's a very good book. I don't think their "Top 10" series are as good as their regular series, however.Pros:Nice illustrations, small local maps, extensive information about the sights. Good Metro map. Lots of information about places to eat. Good recommendations about locations outside of the city (I highly recommend visiting Stanley).Cons:Some of the maps are too small to be of help. This was especially true for the "New Kowloon" area which is pretty much useless as there are no streets and their dot could potentially be in a 1/4 mile area. I think there is too much emphasis on restaurants. It seems like "places to eat" took up more pages than the actual "10 top sites" in each section. I guess if you are really going to Hong Kong for dining vs seeing the city, this is ok. There was some incorrect info. For example, the closing day for museums was Mondays, not Tuesdays as indicated in the book.Overall another good book from DK and I will continue using them as my go to guide book. This was published in 2016 so hopefully the next edition will be coming out soon with some minor improvements.

I used this book during my trip to Hong Kong and it was an incredible journey. It has many attractions off the beaten path and it is absolutely comprehensive. It guided me through places otherwise not advertised. I went on the Heritage a trail and it was quite an experience. No markings, no bus stops, just immersed in a totally unique experience which was quite remote. I recommend this book for anyone with little time and great curiosity. I took incredible pictures and enjoyed a trip of a lifetime.

I love the Eyewitness travel books. I get one for every destination I go to. They include a little historical information as well as walking tours. I've done some of the walking tours and they were all good. Great pictures with descriptions of all the must see places. I wouldn't travel without the Eyewitness travel books.

This seems to be the best guide that there is for Hong Kong. It is reasonably effective at highlighting some of the main sights. It is fairly out-of-date on some things that used to be good, but really aren't very good any more. Hong Kong is a vibrant, happening place, where things change. It also omits a lot of detail as far as locations and hours, so you are constantly having to supplement it with more research. With that being said, it was often helpful.

Purchased as a gift for a client who was traveling to Hong Kong. They loved it and said it has been helpful for them to plan their visits.

Good guide, but not as detailed as other guides
