THE SNAKES OF HONG KONG

With hundreds of photographs and nearly 200 pages of content, The Snakes of Hong Kong is a field guide like no other, and a must for all those who hike the Lantau trails. Author and photographer Adam Francis spent nearly three years locating and documenting the local snake population, and his book is based almost entirely on first- hand experience.

There are an incredible 40 species of snake in Hong Kong including bright red mountain racers, vibrant yellow beauty snakes, giant pythons and even king cobras. In this guidebook, you will learn not only how to identify them but also more about them. The Snakes of Hong Kong is available at VIBE Book and Music Shop and www.hongkongsnakeid.com.
