Its culture combines Cantonese traditions, international business influences, excellent dining, festivals, and a fast-paced working environment. Although best known for its urban skyline, Hong Kong also offers beaches, hiking trails, outlying islands, and country parks. Public transport is efficient, and most professionals live in apartments close to MTR stations.
