This is Hong Kong

Hong Kong – the most vibrant and exotic among Šašek's urban portraits. A city where skyscrapers loom over streets awash in neon lights, where rice paddies nestle in mountain heights, where junks put out to sea; a place where firecrackers light up the Chinese New Year and quiet grave-side picnics mark the Day of the Dead. Here, tiny shops and cozy pubs abound, street vendors offer everything under the sun, a girl plays with pinwheels, golden Buddhas smile, and colorful dragons dance. This addition to Miroslav Šašek's series of illustrated guides whisks readers away to the Far East, inviting them on an expansive journey through both place and time.
