Lifestyle in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a wonderfully cosmopolitan and culturally fascinating city for expats to relocate to. It boasts a rich and vibrant history, wonderful attractions and some of the world’s most important financial institutions.

Hong Kong is renowned for its shopping, nightlife and restaurants but it also features good entertainment venues, world-class sports facilities, as well as many other things to see and do. Not to mention, expats in Hong Kong are privy to a unique sense of belonging to one of the integral cogs that turn the world’s economy.
 

Known to be one of the world’s shopping capitals, Hong Kong boasts a tax free status on everything besides alcohol and tobacco, and with such a competitive market, shoppers can be guaranteed of high quality goods at even better prices. Stock up your new home or apartment with all the latest electronic gadgets, buy your wife that string of pearls she’s always wanted, or rummage through the local markets looking for fresh produce and bargains on antiques and fabrics.
 

With a modest and sometimes more low-key nightlife, Hong Kong still offers plenty of variety for those looking for a good party or a big night out. The Wan Chai area gained notoriety in the past but has since calmed down and the girlie bars have become scarcer nowadays; these days British-style bars and pubs abound, making them popular after work watering holes for a quick pint (or two) before heading home. Additionally, many cocktail bars, lounges and restaurants feature live music such as jazz bands and swing bands.
