.Hong Kong (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide)

by: Liam Fitzpatrick, Jason Gagliardi, Andrew Stone

Despite saying that this book was revised in 2006, some entries were already out of date. For example, it lists "James Bond" Bottoms Up in Tsim Sha Tsui. This bar closed in 2004 (and is different to the bar with the same name which is now operating in Wan Chai).

.Top 10 Hong Kong (DK Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guides)

We went to Hong Kong on a two day stop over to New Zealand and this is the only book to buy if you want to make sure that you cover the basic "to do" things in that country. If you are staying for more than two days then I would definitely recommend buying one of the larger books (Lonely Planet, Footprint) to supplement. I have since used the top 10 books in other cities and they are consistently excellent.
