Presenter Toby Amies meets charismatic Hong Kong fashion tracker Davena Mok, who kits him out with the latest gadgets and accessories he needs to thrive in this pulsating town. Social columnist and feng shui expert Nury Vittachi gives Toby an insight into three Hong Kong passions – money, horse racing and feng shui – and invites Toby to a fancy dress cocktail party thrown by the wealthy Harilela clan.

While sourcing a suitably outrageous costume, Toby meets fashion designer William Tang, who invites him to his ancestral village and unveils a family connection to Hong Kong that stretches back nearly 1,000 years. Toby joins William to celebrate the Chung Yueng Festival.

Davena introduces Toby to movie producer Bey Logan for a little one-on-one martial arts choreography and an insider’s guide to Hong Kong movies. Toby hijacks Bey’s storyboard artist to create a martial arts fight sequence with Toby as the hero.

Bey introduces Toby to Marine Police Officer Tim Worrell, who has the fastest boat in town – bar none. Tim takes Toby on both a two-man kayaking expedition to the harbour’s tranquil corners and a high-speed night patrol to hunt down smugglers.

Toby meets Hong Kong’s reluctant Dr Doolittle, Sue Burnett, at an animal workshop for troubled pets, where she reveals her capacity to talk to animals.

Artist Amy Cheung invites Toby on a photo shoot, capturing workers making paper offerings for the dear departed. Amy and Toby get up to mischief carting a life-size sculpture of a Hong Kong taxi to the city’s busiest taxi rank, before Toby gets his just desserts in a classic rooftop martial arts fight finale.
