| The Magic of Hong Kong is a one-hour High
Definition program about the hidden sides of this multi colored, fascinating
culture. On Hong Kong Island a Chinese herb shop dispenses secret
remedies, in a small shop in Kowloon a beautiful snake lady handles
cobras like they were toys just before she turns them into a healing
reptilian soup…On the car-less Cheung Chau Island elevated children
parade like divine beings at the famous Bun festival.
Hong Kong is known for it’s fast paced lifestyle but in the lush
green mountains there are miles of hiking trails for peaceful journeys.
Peeking behind the scenes at a Cantonese opera House reveals the
singers prepping for their nightly performance. Magic
is eating the deadly poisonous “stone fish” for dinner and then
going on a shopping spree in the local street markets for a Mao
watch.
This interesting, fast paced program reveals another side of Hong
Kong, a truly magical city.
