    5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Supplement to Your General Guides ...

    I have always trusted both Lonely Planet and Fodor's to guide my trips. I always buy both and, if there are themed versions, I grab all of them too. Some people see this as excessive, but each one offers something a little different and prepares me in different ways. In essence, they are the backbone of our trips.

    Now, we are planning another tour of Asia and wanted to really focus on a few keys areas, Hong Kong being at the top of our list. Therefore, this "25 Best" is exactly what we need to supplement our others texts.

    I like how petite this volume is (you can even put it in your travel bag and review it on the plane). And, there are so many cool suggestions here that we may not have otherwise considered. My favorite is the Mid-Levels Escalator. At first, I was like "Why would we want to ride an escalator"? And, then I read this section and was like, "We MUST ride this escalator." So, I think you are going to find some really unique and cool ideas in this little volume!

    A fantastic guide with great suggestions! A perfect supplement to your larger travel guides!

    Outstanding! Highly Recommended!

    This is a terrific little helpful guide to Hong Kong. It has some excellent information for anyone planning to visit Hong Kong for a day or two or a lot longer.
    In this guide you will find things like where to stay, where to eat, shopping locals, entertainment, etc. There are a few different areas of Hong Kong that have separate little sections in the book. They have their own full color maps and individual locations to see as well as the shopping, where to eat, and so on. The main point of these is to point out the things to see. It's really well done.
    There is a very important part of this book that is titled 'Need to Know' and it's a really terrific section. It has vital information such as planning ahead, getting there, getting around, essential facts, language, and timeline. This is one that may prove to hold invaluable information.
    The guide is filled with pictures of things and places. It's also filled with maps. Full color maps are all throughout the guide from street maps for full maps of Hong Kong. In the back there is a great full color laminated type pull out map of Hong Kong and it's streets. It's beautiful.
    All in all this seems to be a great guide with a whole lot of excellent information for those planning a trip to Hong Kong.

    Hong Kong-the name evokes images of dragons, medieval Chinese dynasties, and enticing Chinese and Asian cuisine. If you are planning a trip to Hong Kong, or already have your tickets booked and don't know what to do-Fodor's 25 Best Hong Kong is for you! (Sorry about that awful pun)

    This is another excellent edition to Fodor's 25 Best Series. All of the titles are located in the back of the book and cover all the major destinations. The front cover is the same as with all of the covers on this series-it shows a breathtaking scene of the city, then on the inside there is an abbreviated map of the major roads in the main part of the city. Once you fold this out, there is a larger main map of the entire major roads/areas of the city.

    As is expected, there is a guide for what to do if you are pressed for time and only have one or two days to spend in Hong Kong. The top 25 is on one page next to another condensed map showing where things are. Then the book goes into places to eat, shop, visit and stay at in your stay in Hong Kong.

    The directions they use to get around seem simple. I think this book is ideal for the traveler who wants to use a book, rather than just rely on their phone to get around in a strange land. I highly recommend.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Thinner version of standard guidebook, for the first time visitor.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2019
    Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
    I generally find myself using only a fraction of a typical tourist guidebook, particularly if I've never visited the destination before. I want to see the must-see stops on that first trip, and if I go back again, then the guidebook will get more of a workout. This 25 Best version from Fodor's is a great first-timer guide, hitting the high points without taking up too much space in your daypack. Plenty of maps and color illustrations are present, and the only recommendation I'd have is that there be a little more in terms of destination issues. How much will the museum cost for a family of four? What's the best way to avoid a long wait? It's easy to find out what any given museum will have on display, but more difficult to find out that if you arrive first thing in the morning, you'll be waiting an hour before you even enter the museum, and then you'll have to pay a small fortune for entrance. That's what I want to read about in advance. Like larger counterparts, this book has a removable laminated map of Hong Kong's streets.

    This is a great compact book that is packed with great travel info for planning a trip to Hong Kong or just experiencing it by thumbing through the pages.

    128 full color pages with very nice photographs as well as plenty of text to help you decide where to visit, and with helpful maps etc to help you on your trip.

    There is also a big fold out map in the back that is coated to keep it clean and prevent it from tearing.

    This is a great addition to our travel guide collection. Small enough to tuck in purse or backpack but nice also to keep in our bookshelf when not traveling.

    Thanks for reading my review

    Fodor is a trusted guide book for us, and I am very familiar with HK. The book is great if you have a few days in HK..and with maps and key sightseeing..shopping guides - you will get a chance to see the diversity and history of an amazing region. Get on the trams, cross over between HK and Kowloon on star ferry...close your eyes and there is history steeped deep in many modern buildings. The HK Chinese are innovative and have deep reverence for their beliefs and ancestors. Great book and can’t wait when we can travel without pandemic worries.
