Topless bars, bikini-clad escorts and smelly bean curd : HK’s 1980s tourist guide

"Hong Kong's harbour is perhaps the most beautiful and no visit would be complete without a water tour," the guide says.
One tour offers a two-hour cruise, featuring live music and a spacious observation deck for the "fresh-air fiend and the sun worshipper" for HK$95.

The guide says: "Tsim Sha Tsui has replaced Wan Chai for concentration of all types and grades of night establishments,
but every urban area of Hong Kong has fun places – bars, nightclubs, ballrooms (no liquor), discotheques, cocktail lounges, topless joints, etc ... especially etc!"

"Other than horse racing and some licensed lotteries, gambling is illegal in Hong Kong; if you want casino games, go to Macau," the guide says.

The tourist association offered day trips to mainland China, including a stop at a kindergarten and a "sumptuous Chinese lunch",
but "needless to say, a one-day tour will only be to Shenzhen (or Zhongshan)".

The guide was compiled in 1981 by Walter Hoffman, managing director of A-O-A publishers.
