In 2007, TVB invited Helen To to host the travel show "Popular Tokyo". Because of her unique hosting style and her "Hong Kong girl" style behavior, she received a lot of support even in the scolding. While scolding her Hong Kong girl behavior for "teaching a bad way", the audience was attracted by her humorous language style, so an interesting phenomenon of scolding and watching was formed. Therefore, Helen To also created a new form of travel programs, that is, launching a series of programs with the host as the core, which can maximize the host's hosting skills and personality charm.
"Back Pack Series" (English: Back Pack Series) is a travel program series filmed and produced by TVB. There are currently four series in the program series, namely "Backpack America", "Backpack Utopia", "Backpacking Morocco" and "The North Of South America", hosted by Chris Leung Yin Chung from the perspective of backpackers to travel around the world .
