Title: 2011 Version Already Out of Date
Product review: I took the "fully updated" 2011 version of the guide on a trip to Hong Kong in December 2011 and found numerous errors or places the guide is already out of date. For instance:1) The book twice states that the city trams cost HK $2 and that exact change is required (pages 123 and 259). The fare is actually HK $2.302)The guide indicates that the Hong Kong Discovery Centre is not open on Saturdays (page 157), but it is open then.3)The guide states, "From Fanling station, it's a short ride on the 64K minibus to the Leung Yuk Tau Heritage Trail (page 190). You actually need to take the 54K minibus.4)The guide states that there are Star Ferry routes from Hung Hom to both Central and Wan Chai (page 258). That service was canceled as of April 1, 2011.The book is attractive and has a lot of information--unfortunately,too much of the information is unreliable. Needless to say, this is not a guidebook you would want to rely upon to navigate or tour Hong Kong.
