Synopsis

In this full-colour book illustrating life in the colourful area south of Hollywood Road, Hong Kong, Lorette Roberts paints the town red - and orange, and yellow, and green, and blue . . . There is a centre foldout of the rainbow-hued Soho restaurants; elsewhere you will find the crimsons and pinks of tiny boutiques and musicians playing live in a purple bar. And those Soho-ites - from uniform in their working clothes to bright and exotic in their street party costumes - they are all there. Yet there is more: the reds and golds of the temple and lantern shops, the muted ochres and turquoises of the old shophouses, the green trees and busy street market in vivid colour and, last but not least, the silver of the Mid-Levels Escalator which leads to this vibrant district. A fold-out map at the back of the book will guide you through the less familiar streets. Part of a series of best-selling books, Sketches of Soho is the perfect gift item for residents and visitors alike.
