Product Description
All the travel experts agree—consumers want more and different experiences from travel than they did in the past. They want to deeply understand their destination before they go, feel a meaningful connection to the place while there, and return home feeling enriched and ready to share their experiences with others. With these trends in mind, and the results of extensive, proprietary market research, National Geographic Traveler has been enhanced with engaging new features and a contemporary redesign.

Each guide begins with an introduction that enables the traveler to sample a bit of the culture, history, and attractions before they go and plan the trip based on their own interests and length of stay. Travelers can immerse themselves in active, in-country "Experiences" and "Off-the-Beaten-Path Excursions" they won't find anywhere else, like visiting a family in a South African township or learning to cook Maori cuisine with a renowned New Zealand chef. Other new features, such as "Insider Tips" from National Geographic photographers, writers, and experts, as well as "Not-To-Be-Missed" lists ensure that each person's visit will be one-of-a-kind and memorable.

To make the most of these and all the other great new features, the guides' design has been simplified, opened up, and enhanced with easy-to-read tinted sections. Gorgeous color photographs, high-quality maps, and the popular walking and driving tours are still highlights of our crisp, new look. To complete the update, our new covers boast a striking, single image of the destination, along with the clear National Geographic branding that signifies quality, trust, and all the best in travel.

With more than a century of travel expertise, new content, and a new look, National Geographic Traveler is the right guide at the right time—poised to meet the changing needs of today's traveler better than ever and better than anyone.

Hong Kong is presented exquisitely with its gleaming skyscrapers and teeming streets. Find out where to drink tea and take lessons in feng shui and kung fu.

5.0 out of 5 stars First time we tried National Geographic and we liked it, February 14, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: National Geographic Traveler: Hong Kong, 3rd Edition (Paperback)
We travel a lot and have tried several of the guide books.

This book had some good practical information. They seem to concentrate on what you do in Hong Kong rather than where you stay and eat. They have a lot of walks which are easy to follow. They helped us appreciate the places we went. We will definitly use their guides again.

In general, we do not use hotel and restaurant listings in a guide. Once a restaurant is in a guide, its prices go up and quality goes down. There are much better places, on the internet, to get this information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very accurate, current info, February 3, 2012

This review is from: National Geographic Traveler: Hong Kong, 3rd Edition (Paperback)
Traveled to Hong Kong in November 2011 and this book was very useful. In fact, I wish I'd read it a bit more ahead of time! In looking back through it after our trip (for purposes of providing a good review), the information is excellent.

I expected a bit of a picture book, frankly, but National Geo surprised me. There are enough pics to show the neat stuff, but it is not the focus of the book. The details provided for most topics are thorough and insightful. Readers will not be left wondering how to get to the destinations, how much they cost, etc. That info is all provided.

My favorite part of this book, especially for people traveling outside of their norm, is the section in the back which covers the basics. It is called "Travelwise" and covers the following:
1. Trip planning - how to get there, what to take, climate, entry requirements, travel to different cities nearby
2. Getting around - transit system, car rental, trains, ferries, taxis,...Read more
