From Travel Channel’s “The Layover: Hong Kong”
This is the show with Anthony Bourdain. It features him in various major cities in which one is likely to have a travel layover. He shows viewers where to stay, where to eat, and what to do when you have 24 to 48 hours in a city.

I can see why Hong Kong audiences hate him.
