The "e‐HongKongGuide" 2024 edition features the new town development in the northern part of Hong Kong which will be developed into a metropolitan area. Three new towns, namely Tin Shui Wai, Yuen Long and Fanling/Sheung Shui are located within this area. The interactive storytelling map showcases the topographic, demographic and developmental changes of these new towns over the past decades, as well as the future development of their surrounding areas. The new July edition enriches the content of the Internal Migration theme to enable the public to gain a better understanding of the relationships among the development of residence, infrastructure, and internal migration.

Besides, the "e-HongKongGuide" provides 119 detailed maps of Hong Kong in A3/A4 sizes, gazetteers of street and place names, and indexes of estates and buildings. These maps cover the whole territory of Hong Kong, with those for urban areas and other built-up areas in a larger scale. In the July edition, estates, major infrastructure and buildings, and street and place names are updated up to June 2024.

The maps, in GeoPDF format, can be read on desktop computers and applications on mobile devices offline. Users can easily locate their positions on the “e-HongKongGuide” maps using free map applications with satellite positioning functions. Button links are provided on the maps and indexes for easy browsing on desktop computers. Maps in A3/A4 sizes can also be printed out.

The "e-HongKongGuide" 2024 July edition is available for browsing and free download on the LandsD’s website.
