This is..

This is one of the beautiful children travel guides from the fabulous Czech illustrator Miroslav Sasek. 

"This is Hong Kong" is just one of the many books I own in this series (I want them all..).They were originally published in the 60s. 

Hong Kong is one of the most fascinating places I've been to, and even in this over 40 year old book, I still get that Hong Kong feeling  

from it. They are timeless, and the things that have changed is summed up in a page in the back of the books.

The series is available in This is... Ireland, Edinburgh, London, New York, Paris, Rome,Venice, Greece..etc etc!
