Hong Kong: The Monocle Travel Guide Series

The 4th edition of The Monocle Travel Guide Series, Hong Kong was one of the originals. 
Hong Kong has been hard to get to know properly – until now. Written by the Monocle team based in the city, this is a book that takes in all the speed and dynamism of this pulsating commercial hub but also leads you down alleyways to hard-to-find cocktail bars and small design ateliers.

"Vertigo-inducing skyscrapers that cling to mountainous slopes and busy fishing villages that proudly hold on to their cultural heritage: Hong Kong is more diverse than you’d imagine. This city can appear to be a collection of concrete high–rises but you are rarely further than a short taxi ride from verdant hikes. The mix of high and low will charm even the most hardened urban travellers." - Monocle

The Monocle Travel Guides Series 

Monocle reports from around the globe in print, on radio, and online. As its editors and correspondents dart from city to city, they get to know the best places to rest their heads, stretch their limbs, and kick back with a contact in a hard-to-find cocktail bar. That information is now available in Monocle’s Travel Guide Series: a line-up of titles that speaks to you in an informed but informal way about everything from architecture to art, late-night bars to early-morning markets.

These are books that go beyond the traditional tourist beats to make sure you get the best out of a city—no matter how short your stay. Designed to be compact and collectable, they are also discerning; Monocle’s team won’t list a hundred places to eat but they will tell you where’s best for everything from some tasty fast food to something truly celebratory.
