'a week in hong kong' is a narrative journey through the former british colony. It is a guide but not one in the usual sense - rather, it is a lucid account of a visit that entertains as much as it informs. it is an ideal companion to contemporary hong kong for anyone interested in exploring more widely and in greater depth a territory with a fascinating, if idiosyncratic, history. hong kong is unique but there is much more to it than shops, luxurious hotels and a few tired tourist sites. this book leads you on a journey around a destination where everything is possible. it is written by someone who has watched its development for over thirty years.
