CNNGo, the ultimate insider's guide to Asia's greatest cities, is going multilingual, rolling out simultaneously in traditional Chinese (www.cnngo.com/hongkong/chinese), simplified Chinese (www.cnngo.com/shanghai/chinese) and Japanese (www.cnngo.com/tokyo/jp). This means that visitors to CNNGo's Shanghai, Tokyo and Hong Kong sections have the choice to read our content in English or in the predominant local language. The sites build on the success of CNNGo.com and are to bring local flavour in local language through original content written and produced by native insiders in each of the cities.
CNNGo's local language editorial team, bloggers, and contributors launch the site with several features, including pulling together its first list in Chinese for "40 Hong Kong foods we can't live without". Street-style comfort foods, reptiles, and a lot of pork - these are CNNGo‘s picks of the most delicious and iconic food items of this foodie's paradise. The feature highlights the best local delicacies and tells you exactly which restaurant or vending cart has the most Hong Kongers queuing up for a fix. Below (in no particular order) are ten foods that make the list, to view the complete list of "40 Hong Kong foods we can't live without", go to www.cnngo.com/hongkong/chinese.

CNNGo goes out with LMF's core member MC Yan for a session of slam poetry on the busiest streets of Hong Kong while the headlining pseudo-model Chrissie Chau speaks about becoming the city's sex symbol, her true aspirations and how she keeps her incredible figure. On top of local language feature stories, a listing section details the best places to Eat, Visit, Shop, Drink. From a hands-on gourmet cooking lesson at Martha Sherpa, an adrenaline-rushing car racing experience at Sideways Driving Club or a caffeine dose at the city's oldest coffee shop Olympia Graeco Egyptian Coffee, the Chinese listing section clearly navigates for locals and visitors alike the perfect places to spend a day in Hong Kong.
