Thank you, Scott - Looking forward to reading some of these. Just perusing the list brought back memories of my life there for 4 years before the British turn-over. I was young - 21 - and the Hong Kong I knew was the Wild West. You could do anything and be anyone!
Great Recommendations! Definitely not about the city itself, but I’d throw in Legend of the Condor Heroes. Probably an oversimplification, but as Marvel is to America, so is Jinyong to Hong Kong (though I’m sure many would say that extends to all of China 😉)
Fun! Yes, it’s probably best to leave those Clavell tomes alone for now, haha. You and Brent enjoy it even without reading a page of these, I know that for sure!
Thanks! I agree, those spots are a must to really experience Hong Kong in full. I would take friends to Shek O, Lamma, Stanley, and they would not believe it was the same place.

Ah what an amazing time to be there and experience to have!!

Thanks for that recommendation, Dugu. I haven’t heard of that one so I’ll have to check it out!
Going to be there in a little more than a month. Would love to find some time to read at least a couple of these. But time is short. Sigh...

Some great recommendations there, Scott. Thank you. I love the islands around HK too. And the south shore I think it is, which is quite wild?
