Discovery Channel Videos on Hong Kong

Hong Kong’s a fascinating place to live. While I do my best to relay the feeling of what it’s like to live here, there are those who do it much better than I do, capturing cultures and history in a way I could never hope to do on a blog.

Discovery Channel, one of my favorite zipzapping choices back when I was actually watching TV, has terrific episodes covering Hong Kong, with the subtle complexities of Hong Kong’s colonial history and current situation, the impressive modern achievements and its unique character.

If you have a few minutes to spare, and you’re curious about Hong Kong, I strongly recommend watching the following episodes :
