Synopsis: The book starts with a district familiar to all visitors – Tsim Sha Tsui – but then moves into the hinterland of Kowloon, taking the reader and walker far beyond the well-known streets of tourist-oriented shops and hotels. Streets: Exploring Kowloon, like its companion, Streets: Exploring Hong Kong Island, guides the reader with maps and travel information to take 45 walks throughout Kowloon, each along a specific street pointing out historically and culturally important sites, but also the curious and the intriguing.

From the Inside Flap: Streets: Exploring Kowloon is a guidebook with a difference: it aims to illustrate aspects of Hong Kong's history, culture, society and heritage in ways not covered in standard works, and to guide the reader to explore areas few locals, let alone visitors, go to. It is the ideal book for the person who wishes to see a different, more authentic and gritty Hong Kong than that of the standard guidebooks and tours.
