Makes the Most of Hong Kong's Unique Wilderness
Inexhaustable hiker Ed Stokes has produced THE book of Hong Kong's natural beauty. The photographs alone raise this large book to coffee-table status, but the text offers fascinating glimpses of the SAR's (that's Special Administrative Region's) history.It served me well when I wanted to find some new places to hike in Hong Kong. No really useful maps here (that's not the point of the book), but all the photos are accurately labeled, making his discoveries - like old abandoned villages and picturesque coves - a snap to find on government maps.
Really a valuable keepsake for anyone living in or visiting Hong Kong.

This is an indispensable guide to trails in and around Hong Kong island. Stokes exposes the reader to aspects of Hong Kong that are overlooked by most tourist. The reader soon realizes that there is a treasure of wild places on this relatively small island. I was inspired to explore all the trails he suggested.
