National Geographic India has announced a new two-part travel series, Postcards from Hong Kong, starring actress Ridhi Dogra. Premiering on March 28, 2026, the series invites viewers to look beyond the famous skyscrapers and neon lights to discover the hidden natural beauty and cultural depth of the city.
A Journey of Two Sides
The series, produced by National Geographic Creative Works, is split into two distinct thematic episodes:
-
Episode 1: The Soulful Escape Ridhi explores the quieter, nature-centric side of Hong Kong. This episode highlights scenic hiking trails like Dragon’s Back, the coastal charm of Sai Kung, and spiritual landmarks such as the Tian Tan Buddha and Po Lin Monastery. It captures a reflective, slower pace of life rarely associated with the global financial hub.
-
Episode 2: The Urban Pulse The second installment dives into the city’s high-energy identity. With just 72 hours on the clock, Ridhi navigates the vibrant streets of Causeway Bay, experiences the thrill of the Happy Valley Racecourse, and indulges in Michelin-recognized dining and luxury shopping at Landmark.
Voices Behind the Series
Reflecting on her journey, Ridhi Dogra shared, “What I love about this journey is that it goes beyond the obvious. From hiking through misty trails to understanding local traditions, I found myself connecting with Hong Kong in a way that felt real, immersive, and meaningful.”
A spokesperson for National Geographic India noted that the collaboration with the Hong Kong Tourism Board aims to present the city as a “layered, living narrative.” Puneet Kumar, Director of South Asia for the tourism board, added that the series beautifully captures the “diversity and spirit” that define the city, showcasing coastal escapes and vibrant local communities that many travelers have yet to discover.
Where to Watch
Postcards from Hong Kong premiered on the National Geographic Channel at 8 PM on March 28 and is also available for streaming on JioHotstar. Whether it’s watching the Symphony of Lights from the traditional Aqua Luna junk boat or exploring neighborhood eateries, the series offers a fresh, nuanced lens on one of the world’s most iconic cities.
