Hong Kong
52 mins
Discover Hong Kong, where space is at a premium and real estate is the most expensive in the world. Ade heads into the high rises to find people living in tiny spaces no larger than a cupboard. This former British colony, handed back to the Chinese in 1997, is a city driven by trade and commerce and Dan discovers how it's adapting to life in China's embrace while Anita learns about the city's traditions - from bamboo scaffolding to banishing bad spirits on the daily commute. How does this city of contrasts manage the delicate daily balancing act that keeps it on track?
