  • Pete Spurrier’s The Serious Hiker’s Guide to Hong Kong, one of the many useful hiking guides for Hong Kong. There are so many trails and scenic paths that you will welcome having a guidebook.
  • Food is one of the reasons why many people on a visit to Hong Kong. Get Tatler’s Best Restaurants or the WOM guide, the Hong Kong equivalent to New York’s Zagat.
  • The Hong Kong Explorer Guide is one of the two must-have books for expats setting up home in Hong Kong for a while.

Check them out or the other books in the selection below.
