Includes bibliographical references (p. 300-304) and index. Victoria City -- Central values -- The world of Wan Chai -- Views from the peak -- Kowloon, past and present -- New territories, ancient traditions -- Hong Kong lifestyle -- City and country. The author of this book offers an insider's view of Hong Kong, capturing the history and culture that make his densely packed home city so different from its nearest neighbours. He goes through the wet markets and the corner bookshops, remote fishing villages and mountaintop temples, teahouses and noodle stalls. |
