The Guide to Hong Kong (the Mandarin Oriental Spa, the Pink Dolphins, the Junk Bar, the Reflexology, the Restaurant, the Toilets, the Haggling, the Hotel, the Flight from Shenzhen, the Maps, the Packing and the Rest) from Pearl Escapes 2010

Hi there, I'm Pearl Howie (aka Pearl Escapes) and this is my guide to Hong Kong, an incredibly diverse place and one that really taught me that trudging round working down the list of the top ten things to do in many cities is a recipe for disappointment and disaster.

I hope this book can help you to have a much more magical trip as Hong Kong has some rare delights (especially outside the centre).

I used to get extremely burned out in my old job and couldn't even handle finding and booking a hotel and flight or finding what to do when I did take time off. So, I thought “wouldn't it be awesome if someone would write a guide that just gave you one perfect escape; the perfect hotel, spa, flight and restaurant.”

So that's what I did.
