Hong Kong offers strong employment opportunities in hospitality, engineering, property management, finance, technology, retail and professional services. The culture blends Chinese traditions with international influences, and Cantonese is widely spoken while English is common in hotels and business settings. Lifestyle options range from excellent restaurants and shopping to hiking, beaches, public parks and a lively arts scene. Housing can be expensive, especially on Hong Kong Island and in Kowloon, although public transport is fast, reliable and extensive.
