A team of local writers take a look at how things have changed since the former British colony was handed back to China. This vibrant, exciting and often overwhelming city offers an extraordinary diversity of attractions - both urban and rural - for visitors. This guide explores Hong Kong's best restaurants, cafes, pubs and bars, with an in-depth look at all types of Chinese cuisine. It also includes a round-up of the best festivals and events in the area, from rugby tournaments to arts festivals, and, or course, Chinese New Year. Though best known for its shopping and eating opportunities, Hong Kong offers much, whether you want to soak up some scenery or try out an activity such as kung fu or tai chi. The guide also goes beyond the city to include the outlying islands, the former Portuguese colony of Macau and booming modern city of Guangzhou (Canton).
