The Year of the Snake kicks off with the launch of SCMP.com’s newest blog HKEye, where we take a look how the world’s media are covering Hong Kong. Stories about snake soup, snake fortunes and live snakes have been slithering around in recent days.
How charming
The BBC looks at the business of snake soup, a traditional winter dish, concluding that snake tamers are a dying breed.

CNN Travel takes a tour of several old snake-serving establishments.
CLSA’s Feng Shui Index (not to be taken too seriously) was also widely reported, by CNN’s Andrew Stevens, China Daily and SCMP.
