The Naked Surfer discovers a novel way to explore some of Asia’s most exciting cities from the comfort of his home.
CNNGo is a new monthly show that delivers the best of each city by those who knows it best, whether you are a local, a business or leisure visitor, or even just a cultural voyeur.
This is what CNNGo promises to be when it launches its first edition slated for May from Shanghai.
The show features a unique take on global destinations, bringing views from genuine insiders on what gives dynamic cities in Asia and beyond their distinctive buzz.
The first show from Shanghai will feature some of the city's most influential and knowledgeable local characters. Beyond the usual tourist hangouts, wise-cracking Comedian Zhou Libo gives viewers a tour of one of Shanghai's coolest old teahouses, which once served as his training ground.
Other personalities featured are:
• Tang Ting, up and coming photographer who conducts a tour to a former slaughterhouse turned art space.
• Han Han, China's most widely read blogger who shares his thoughts on the city he calls home.
• Shen Hongfei, the man with the power to make or break Shanghai's new restaurants, takes viewers out to dinner.
CNNGo also delves into the city's small but vibrant music scene and
The show takes a lead from the website CNNGo.com, which has the tagline, “one website and six cities” (Bangkok, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Shanghai, Singapore and Tokyo). This site is a digital delight, both in content and visually as it presents the best each of the city has to offer – from things to buy or see and which restaurants and bars to hang out in.
