Hong Kong is a compact international city and a major gateway to Asia, with abundant opportunities in hospitality, engineering, finance, technology, retail, and professional services. Although often called an island destination, the territory includes Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the New Territories, and many outlying islands.

Lifestyle options range from dense urban neighborhoods and excellent dining to beaches, hiking trails, ferries, and quiet island communities.
