IMAGINE YOU have friends coming to Hong Kong and you have promised to show them around. Where will you take them? What will you do? Planning an itinerary takes time and effort. You must think of the people involved and their interests. Then you must design a route that takes in the sites without backtracking. If this sounds like fun, then the 'Enjoy Hong Kong: Itinerary Design Competition' is for you. The competition is open to everyone and prizes include air tickets, unlimited MTR travel and jewellery.
I have friends who enjoy Hong Kong movies, so I designed an itinerary that takes in the locations of some of their favourite films. Some of the movies suggested are showing at the Hong Kong International Film Festival, which kicks off on March 27.
MONGKOK
Wander through the back streets of Mongkok like Little Cheung as he delivered takeaways from his Dad's restaurant. Little Cheung (1999) is shot in Fruit Chan's signature style - hand-held camera work and no professional actors - and the result is a raw, but touching, look at the real Hong Kong.
