Stories Set in Hong Kong
On islands and a peninsula in the South China Sea, Hong Kong is a harbor city of ferries and market streets. British control from 1842 to 1997 built a separate legal and film system, so its stories lean toward crime, romance and exile shaped by that in-between status. In the Mood for Love and Chungking Express carry that restless harbor mood. Open Hong Kong on the StoryTerra map and filter its stories by any era.
