Features: The first part of this travel guide is a general introduction, rich in practicality, providing information on the history, geography, culture, residents, climate, music, animals, plants, and cuisine of Hong Kong and Macau. The second part guides you through different regions of Hong Kong and Macau, allowing you to learn about the history, valuable attractions, and shopping spots of each area. If the primary condition for you in the art of travel is that all unknown things are meticulously and systematically listed; or conversely, you believe that novelty is an indispensable joy of travel and the greatest pleasure of living in a foreign land, please immerse yourself in the chapters of this travel guide.
First, this guidebook, despite its limited scope, provides you with a detailed and comprehensive overview of this region. This will be your first journey through these words, and your actual travel will be equally rich and diverse.
Second, this small booklet will become your loyal, cautious, and reliable companion, guiding you through bustling streets and alleys, participating in sometimes challenging folk festivals and celebrations, and navigating maze-like markets without getting lost.
The authors of this guidebook are deeply fond of islands, love grasslands, are captivated by snow, and dream of paradise. We are journalists, writers, translators, art critics, filmmakers, university students, and professors from various travel regions. Of course, there are also professional travelers, former members of the United Nations peacekeeping forces, and a handful of brilliant individuals living on the fringes of society! Our group has gathered a diverse group of global travelers: French, Italian, Spanish, American, Bolivian, Swedish, Norwegian, Russian, Canadian, and Lebanese—all French speakers. From these geniuses, we have drawn the essence, first cultivating passion to form a personalized, even unique, writing style, which is beneficial for the guidebook.
This travel series, written in multiple languages, is like the Tower of Babel in the Bible—grand but never fully completed. We hope to create a flexible and adaptable series, rather than one bound by rigid conventions. This series clearly depicts the realities of life, faithfully recounting the full scope of the scenery. It loves the old bricks and mortar and the vibrant colors of the markets, and it is never afraid to confront anything.
When writing a travel guide, everything must be included, and the most important information for modern travelers is found on our pages: real-life experiences, cultural customs, and adventurous encounters. Of course, there is much more.
After presenting the entire journey—which is the purpose of every guidebook—it is now up to you to decide to set off. Whether you are who you are—a well-prepared traveler or an experienced adventurer, a university student or a retiree, and regardless of how you travel—whether with family or friends, traveling in a group or alone—you can choose the best way for you to live in a foreign land.
