Living in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a diverse, bustling, and cosmopolitan city. There are tons of outdoor activities - nearly 40% of the land devoted to country parks, and there are dozens of beaches and islands. Hiking is the favorite national pastime. Hong Kong is also big on art, music, and theater. Although housing is tight, it's no different from other major metropolitan areas, such as New York City and London. The overall cost of living is 34% cheaper than in New York City, and there are many fun travel opportunities nearby (e.g., in South East Asia and the China mainland). The salary is competitive, and the total tax rate is capped at 15%. The Hong Kong dollar is pegged to the US dollar.
