This video follows Ken Abroad's journey to the outskirts of Hong Kong, specifically to a village near the mainland China border. He starts his adventure by taking a bus from the city center, experiencing the public transportation system and noting the scenic change from the concrete jungle to green mountains.
His initial destination is a border crossing point, but he soon discovers that access to the village of Kung Hao (or its actual name, which he later discovers) is restricted to those with special permits. This surprising discovery forms the central theme of the video, leading to interactions with locals and insights into the unique dynamics of this border region.

Because it's a frontier closed area and requires a special permit to visit. It's not open to all tourists.
What was the most surprising thing Ken found?
Probably the fact that I couldn't get into that village, and that even on a small bus in a rural area, everyone was paying cashless!
