Lonely Planet Six Degrees is the new flagship series produced by Lonely Planet.

Playful, sassy, street smart and unexpected, Lonely Planet Six Degrees connects to what makes each city special - the people that live in it. By emphasising the human dimension of travel Lonely Planet Six Degrees moves beyond sightseeing and offers the surest way of being whisked off your feet and fast-tracked to the heart of a city.

Presenter Toby Amies gets the essential Hong Kong survival kit from fashion tracker Davena Mok, who hooks him up with commentator Nury Vittachi for an insight into the city's greatest passions - money, gambling and feng shui. Nury takes Toby to a high society costume party, where he masquerades as a colonial prig and scores an invite from designer William Tang to celebrate the Chung Yueng Festival.

Davena introduces Toby to Hong Kong movie producer Bey Logan to bring his martial arts fantasy to life, and Bey puts Toby in touch with marine police officer Tim Worrell - the man with the fastest boat in town bar none - for some high speed thrills on the high seas. Toby meets Hong Kong's Dr Doolittle, Su Burnett, at a workshop for troubled dogs, and then joins artist Amy Cheung for a little mischief with a life-size sculpture of a Hong Kong cab.Toby gets his just desserts in a classic rooftop martial arts finale.
