Hong Kong

Griff Rhys Jones explores some of the most amazing cities of the world. He concludes this second series in Hong Kong, a city of contradictions where the ancient and modern collide and consumerism and spirituality live side by side. He visits an exotic fish shop that opens in the middle of the night to cater to a wealthy businessman's obsession, learns about the 3000-year-old Chinese hobby of bird fancying, and discovers how Britain's colonial influence lives on in the shape of a thriving Boy Scout movement.
