Hong Kong : A Cultural and Literary Hist...

Hong Kong is the epitome of the modern city and a crossroads between Eastern and Western cultures. Today the city is most famously characterized by its breathtaking skyscraper skyline, dominating its so-called "fragrant" harbour. The more-than-one hundred-year-old Star Ferry, which continues to ply the seven-minute route between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, enhances the magic of the night-time experience of this unique maritime city, composed of China's southernmost peninsula and an archipelago of over two hundred islands.

Hong Kong has always been something of an anomaly, and an outpost of empire, whether British or Chinese. Once described as a "barren island", the former fishing community has been transformed by its own economic miracle into one of Asia's World Cities, taking in its stride the return to Chinese sovereignty in 1997. Beneath the surface of Hong Kong's clich�self-image as Pearl of the Orient and Shopping Paradise, Michael Ingham reveals a city rich in history, myth and cultural diversity.
