Moving to Hong Kong
For all its modernity and western influences, Hong Kong remains distinctly Chinese with deep traditions set between its towering skyscrapers and bright neon lights. The Outlying Islands and New Territories add old dimensions to a new and fast city. Hong Kong has a long established identity as an expat region from its history as a British colony and regular outlet for China’s capitalism. Expats in Hong Kong find it easily liveable with a modern infrastructure and western amenities. Healthcare, schooling and business make for seamless transitions from western countries. While most exAccopats move to Hong Kong because of their occupation, the natural island surroundings, active nightlife and safe city make it a place to stay.
Accommodation in Hong Kong, however, can be difficult to find because of rocketing property prices and sky-high apartment complexes already brimming with tenants. Surrounding the city are beautiful islands that come with long commutes. Companies usually assist in the housing process along with the relatively straightforward work visa procedure.
Its unique skyline is indicative of its wealth and opportunity and at its core, Hong Kong is a city of business. Sitting at the doorstep of China and its vast economy, expats move to Hong Kong to take advantage of its unique status as a capitalist hot-zone within a communist country.
