Welcome to Hong Kong.

This island city has been a cosmopolitan trading post for hundreds of years. Hong Kong – Chinese and British, East meets West, land meets ocean! A swelter of commerce, a hot bed of business. Hong Kong is no longer just a supplier of cheap goods to half the world, it is now one of Asia’s top three business services and financial centers. It is also a gateway to the vast potential that is China. The trappings of empire are disappearing, but there are still large expatriate populations and English is very much the language of business.

Getting There

Living There
Do you catch a ferry, train or metro? We’ll help you find your way about. The best neighborhoods – we describe them and help you find a realtor. Any good doctors out there, chiropractors, dentists? Hook up your TV and find a cell phone. And where can you get a Peking duck bagel?

Raising Kids There
3-year waiting lists are not unusual in Hong Kong schools. On the other hand, the International Schools are top-notch and relatively inexpensive: we’ll give you the comparisons. Need childcare?
