Among many useful notes in this small guide to Hong Kong is one on Motor Car Drives. "The drive around Hong Kong Island over well paved roads is usually taken by every visitor arriving in the Colony. It is the most beautiful drive in Hongkong and its scenic beauties are a delight. The actual driving time for the trip is about an hour and three quarters, and the usual proceedure is to time one's arrival at the Repulse Bay Hotel for tea or tiffin time."
An unusual map of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, printed in Japan in 1935.
