Publisher's Synopsis
This one-of-a-kind travel book provides you with a sense of place rather than a list of places to go."The Unguidebook Hong Kong & Macau" is a visual storytelling journey to these two extraordinary destinations. Whether you plan to visit this corner of the world or just experience it vicariously, this book will give you a real sense of place. Introducing the first volume in the travel book series, "A Picture Is Worth 1,000 Characters." The authors put a unique stamp on their personal reflections by giving a modern twist to the well-known phrase, "A picture is worth a thousand words." Each of the 43 enlightening and entertaining impressions features an original photograph and a story that's exactly 1,000 characters long. Immerse yourself in Hong Kong's 24/7 lifestyle where people and vehicles are seemingly impatient to be anywhere but where they are. Escape into the exotic flower, bird, goldfish and "wet" markets lining the city's narrow streets for a glimpse at everyday life for Hong Kongers. Explore Macau on foot to wander through her stunning mosaic plazas and alleyways to sights where tourists gasp on hilly streets that rival San Francisco's. And ride the ferry back in time to the auto-free fishing village of Cheung Chau where many of the harbor's colorful boats display a day's catch sun drying on racks and nets.With so much to see and do in these fascinating cities, "The Unguidebook & Macau" will help you understand what they're really like even before you leave home. This book is available both as a paperback and e-book. The paperback features black and white original photos and the e-book has original color photographs."This book provides you with a tantalizing taste of the amazing adventures the world has in store for you. A must-read for the young and the young at heart traveler."Julie Beckers, Top 100 Travel Blogger, A Not So Young Woman Abroad.
