""Hong Kong Guide" 2016 edition available for Sale
The "Hong Kong Guide" 2016 edition produced by the Survey and Mapping Office (SMO) of the Lands Department is now on sale.
The 408-page new Hong Kong Guide provides accurate and detailed maps covering the whole territory of Hong Kong. It also contains indexes of "streets", "places and villages", "estates and buildings", "schools", "public services", and "leisure and cultural facilities", as well as information on public transportation. The "streets" and "places and villages" indexes can serve as the gazetteers for Chinese and English names of streets and geographical places in Hong Kong.
This year, the Guide features a theme of "Art Walk – a visit to the historic buildings in Hong Kong" with four aspects, namely "Witnessing the Ever-changing Hong Kong", "East Meets West", "Work and Entertainment" and "Old Domestics Buildings". It introduces a number of buildings with unique historical value and the ways they have been revitalised to become the converging points of artistic and cultural activities in recent years. It also gives readers a glimpse of Hong Kong's historical legacy and dedicated efforts in heritage conservation.
The "Hong Kong Guide" 2016 edition, priced at $110, is available at all SMO sales outlets, six post offices (General Post Office, Kowloon Central, Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok, Kwun Tong and Tuen Mun Central), certain local bookstores and the SMO's online map shop.
