Fox Volant of the Snowy Mountain () is a 2006 Hong Kong–Chinese wuxia television series adapted from the novels Fox Volant of the Snowy Mountain and The Young Flying Fox by Jin Yong. Directed by Andrew Lau and Tam Yau-yip, the series is a co-production by the Hong Kong stations ATV and TVB and mainland China's Ciwen Pictures, with Wong Jing as producer, starring Nie Yuan, Athena Chu, Gillian Chung, Ady An, Alex Fong, Anthony Wong and Patrick Tam. It was first broadcast in Hong Kong on ATV in 2006.
Synopsis The plot generally follows the novels but some changes were introduced to create links between the novels and the Condor Trilogy, another set of novels by Jin Yong. Tian Guinong is given a greater role as the primary villain - he survives the fall after being knocked off a cliff by Hu Fei and returns as an even more powerful foe. Apparently, Tian has discovered Li Zicheng's treasure in a cave and found a martial arts manual about Zhou Botong's "Technique of Ambidexterity", along with the reforged Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. He masters the skill and uses his new weapons to face the heroes in battle once more. Characters from The Book and the Sword are also given greater roles in the series. The cliffhanger ending in the novel is also replaced by a happy reunion for Hu Fei and Miao Ruolan.
