Summary:
Renowned for its spectacular skyline and bright lights, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated areas in the World. Regarded as one of the World’s major financial centres, and a gateway into the Chinese market, Hong Kong is unsurprisingly a popular destination for professionals who wish to experience high standards of living and low tax rates.
The Chinese attach particular importance to relationships in business, and it is natural that many new friendships are formed through work both with suppliers and candidates. As such, the ability to network and socialise is key to success within the Hong Kong market.
Although an appealing place to live, with plenty of attractions, stunning views and good food, Hong Kong can be a very expensive city. Renting and accommodation can be extremely expensive (more than London), and healthcare is also expensive (a typical doctor’s appointment would cost around £40+).
