Hong Kong hoping for tourism fillip from K-drama tie-up

Hong Kong

HONG Kong has seen the heyday of its entertainment industry come and go over the years. Now the city wants a piece of contemporary action, with ambitions for a slice of South Korea's burgeoning entertainment market that has already eclipsed its own.

Even as Hong Kong's movie production industry has slid into decline and lost its cult reputation, the city's famous skyline, bustling streets and globally renowned cuisine have been immortalised into a unique cultural identity, thanks to countless kung fu and classic movies.
