“So accustomed are we to think of Hong Kong in terms just of surface – of its glitter and glamour and temporary attractions – that we seldom take time to consider its infinitely more fascinating underpinnings, the ancient rocks and their contortions that make Hong Kong uniquely Hong Kong. Now at last, and in a form eminently readable and deliciously colourful, we have the definitive guide: Bernie Owen and Raynor Shaw have stripped the territory bare, from Tai Mo Shan to Po Toi, and in this wonderful book tell us what this most extraordinary of places is really like, underneath it all.”
– Simon Winchester, geologist and best-selling author, with three books on geology, who lived in Hong Kong during its final ten years as a colony
