Hong Kong entertainment icons Liza Wang and Law Kar-ying wrapped up the Bhutan segment of their travel variety show, Taking Ah-Jie to See the World, on Tuesday, culminating in a deeply personal visit to the sacred Tiger’s Nest Monastery. Demonstrating what has been playfully dubbed his “mountain-and-water pampering method,” the 80-year-old Law orchestrated a private helicopter flight to transport his wife, known to fear heights, up to the 4,000-meter altitude required to access the revered Buddhist site, ensuring she could experience the spiritual sanctuary firsthand.
The journey highlighted the couple’s enduring partnership, combining grand romantic gestures with humorous, candid exchanges. Following the demanding ascent, Law treated Wang to a traditional hot stone bath at the luxury hotel where actors Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Carina Lau famously married. During the shared soak, Law playfully boasted about his appearance, showcasing his legs and joking, “Everyone says my legs are straight, long, and beautiful,” before revealing that he often performs home facials for his wife, preparation for prioritizing their “second life” in retirement.
Throughout the episode, the pervasive affection between the couple, married for over a decade after a long courtship, was apparent. Law frequently watched Wang with loving intensity, even anxiously helping her descend from the helicopter by carrying her off the landing pad. Wang reciprocated her husband’s devotion in her unique, often teasing manner. When Law inquired about a reward for his efforts, she playfully responded with a light tap, followed by a heartfelt confession: “With you by my side, how could I not be happy?”
Candid Shopping Spree and Future Plans
The travelogue also offered a glimpse into their dynamic when faced with consumer temptation. Typically a decisive shopper, Wang was immediately drawn to the vibrantly colored shawls in a specialty store. Law, ever the pragmatic partner, attempted to intervene, reminding her, “We have plenty at home!” Although she initially paused, Wang eventually succumbed to the exquisite craftsmanship, prompting her husband to humorously retreat from the shop, a gesture implying “out of sight, out of mind.” Upon witnessing his wife’s extensive purchases, Law demonstrated a playful “money flying away” gesture for the camera, recalling an instance where he waited two hours for her to finish shopping.
The episode concluded with one of the duo’s characteristically honest discussions. Wang, maintaining her signature hosting style of direct inquiry, challenged Law, referencing his past complaints: “You said speaking to me is like playing the lute to a cow. Is it because I don’t care about you enough, or what?” Law countered with playful exasperation, “Are you interrogating me now?” Despite the pointed questioning, the exchange became a genuine moment of vulnerability, with Wang exhibiting a rare, almost “girlish” demeanor as they opened up about their feelings and the intricacies of their long relationship.
The Bhutan trip served as a public testament to the couple’s transition into a second phase of life, one defined by travel, shared experiences, and strengthening their bond, proving that even after decades in the spotlight, their commitment remains both deep and entertaining. The program offered audiences a relatable look at navigating partnership challenges and joys late in life.
