Come and watch our Hong Kong Driving Tour video, where we take you to Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui. Our video is shot in Ultra HD 4K, crystal clear quality, as if you are actually here.
'Nathan Road (Chinese: 彌敦道) is the main thoroughfare in Kowloon, Hong Kong that goes in a south–north direction from Tsim Sha Tsui to Sham Shui Po. It is lined with shops and restaurants and throngs with tourists, and was known in the post–World War II years as the Golden Mile, a name that is now rarely used. It starts on the southern part of Kowloon at its junction with Salisbury Road, a few metres north of Victoria Harbour, and ends at its intersection with Boundary Street in the north. Portions of the Kwun Tong and Tsuen Wan Lines (Prince Edward, Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei, Jordan and Tsim Sha Tsui) run underneath Nathan Road. The total length of Nathan Road is about 3.6 kilometres (2.2 mi).

Hong Kong’s ‘unofficial mayor’ Hilton Cheong-Leen calls for improved living standards in the city
Subscribe to our YouTube channel for free here:
Hilton Cheong-Leen, now 96, was the first ethnic Chinese chairman of the Urban Council which was responsible for municipal services on Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, including leisure and cultural facilities, and overseeing sanitation and hygiene issues. He also co-founded one of the city’s first political organisations, the Hong Kong Civic Association, in 1954.
Over several decades he helped to improve living standards for the city’s poorest and established nine years of free compulsory school education which was extended to 12 years. He is now calling for more attention to be paid to improving living standards rather than political reforms.

HONG KONG: HANDOVER TO CHINA MAY CHANGE SCHOOL EDUCATION SYSTEM
Cant/Eng/Nat
With just 50 days to go until Beijing resumes sovereignty over Hong Kong, China's President Jiang Zemin has called for a strengthening of patriotism in his country.
In a few parts of Hong Kong the president need not worry - children in private, pro-China schools learn about the motherland and are taught its language.
However in the majority of the territory's classrooms that is not the case.
APTV investigates whether that will change after the handover on June 30th.
With a hint of pride and a great deal of ceremony, the pupils of Heung To Middle School assemble to watch a monthly ritual.
But today it is a little different.
As the five-starred flag of China is unfurled to the strains of the Chinese national anthem, there are just 50 days to go until the end of British rule over Hong Kong.
Heung To is a private high school, founded by a communist sympathiser in 1946.
June 30th will be a momentous occasion for teachers and pupils alike - turning the tables on decades of colonial education and what they say is an Anglocentric view of the territory's history.
This morning an official from Xinhua, the de-facto Chinese embassy in Hong Kong, was on-hand to mark the milestone in the countdown to June 30th.
SOUNDBITE: (Cantonese)
I think the return is full of meaning. It's an historic moment. I'm very proud to be able to witness this historic moment in Hong Kong.
SUPER CAPTION: Sze Hung Hung, Pupil, Heung To Middle School
SOUNDBITE: (Cantonese)
The government was so weak during the Qinq Dynasty, that's why China was being taken advantage of. Now that China is much stronger. That is why it could take back it's own territory.
SUPER CAPTION: Wong Wei Ming, Pupil, Heung To Middle School
For pupils at Heung To, the school day begins with the obligatory reading of two pro-China newspapers.
The dailies - Wen Wei Po and Ta Kung Pao - present Beijing's perspective on world news and events.
Also obligatory are lessons in Putonghua or Mandarin - the national language of China.
In Hong Kong people speak Cantonese.
The emphasis, clearly, at Heung To is to foster in these children a sense of being a part of China.
SOUNDBITE: (Cantonese)
The least is that our students have stronger feelings to China. And they tend not to believe media reports that are misleading.
SUPER CAPTION: Yip Yin Ping, Supervisor, Heung To Middle School
As the bell goes for break at the C-M-A Prevocational School in Kowloon, there is nothing to suggest that this is anything other than a normal day for these pupils.
There is no pomp and there are no flags and banners marking the countdown to June 30th.
In this school, Chinese topics have taken a back seat to subjects like English, science and business studies.
But after the handover, headteacher John Fan Kam-ping expects to introduce a new emphasis to the curriculum.
SOUNDBITE (English):
Chinese culture, Chinese geography which they have not bee taught so much before and to tell them you are Chinese now.
SUPER CAPTION: John Fan Kam-ping, Principal, CMA Prevocational School
Students will not, however, necessarily have to read simplified Chinese characters - which are used on the mainland.
The Department of Education has sent out teaching kits to all its schools, but their use is not compulsory.
It is unlikely post-handover textbooks will be drastically rewritten, although so-called shortcomings have been identified by the Chinese-appointed committee managing the change of sovereignty.
For instance, China is referred to as Hong Kong's neighbour, not its mother country.

Hong Kong's world-class health care system plagued by shortage of doctors
Subscribe to our YouTube channel for free here:
Hong Kong has one of the world’s top-ranked medical services, providing the city’s 7.4 million people with care that has a good reputation for availability, affordability and quality.
But the universal, low-cost public health care system has a downside – including long waiting times and relatively less comfort and privacy than private-sector patients get.
The public system also faces a shortage of practitioners, a serious issue the city will increasingly have to grapple with as its population continues to grow and age.
Pressure on the public system has already started pushing patients – those who can afford it – to the private-sector medical care in Hong Kong is second-most expensive in the world, after the United States.
