Product Description

Review

'Wright's guide will more than pay for itself in time saved.' South China Morning Post


Product Description

Hong Kong has an unashamed reputation for hardcore materialism and freewheeling capitalism. But money is not the only reason that many people go there. Hong Kong offers a fantastic living and working experience.You may be a young single expat going there to work and play; or a couple with a young family needing to address safety, health and education issues on top of everyday living; or you are looking to put away savings for their retirement.Whatever your reasons for planning to live and work in Hong Kong, this comprehensive guide will tell you all you need to know to make the most of your time in this vibrant and challenging city. It is organised into three main sections: Living, Working, and Leisure, and each chapter includes up-to-date information, and well-informed opinion and comment. Quotes drawn from interviews with a broad cross-section of the expatriate community provide useful insights into life there, and invest the book with the colour and authenticity of personal experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Living and Working in Hong Kong is a superb guide, 18 Jan 2005
This review is from: Living and Working in Hong Kong: The Complete, Practical Guide to Expatriate Life in China's Gateway (Paperback)
This book is packed full of useful information in an easy to digest format and covers all aspects of living and working in Hong Kong; from where to shop, eat and visit, to places to live and work, even how to set up your own business there - in essence a complete guide book and expat 'encyclopaedia' rolled into one! It is THE most up-to-date guide, as it has just been published so all the information is current. The only Hong Kong guide to buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide, 21 Jan 2005
This review is from: Living and Working in Hong Kong: The Complete, Practical Guide to Expatriate Life in China's Gateway (Paperback)
I have found this guide really comprehensive and has so much in it. There is loads of 'insider knowledge'which has proved really useful. I would personally recommend it to anyone interested in visiting or moving to Hong Kong. I found it invaluable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Photos!!!, 21 Mar 2005
This review is from: Living and Working in Hong Kong: The Complete, Practical Guide to Expatriate Life in China's Gateway (Paperback)
The first impression to this book is the fabulous photos, especially those taken by Stanley Ng. Those photo are hardly seen from other books describing Hong Kong. I am sure he is a real Hong Kong people which is able to discover the real Hong Kong image. Unlike photos from other guide books with non-Hongkong photographers producing general harbour views and skycrapers shots, of course this book includes such shots, but it also has some photos about fabulous natural landscape of HK which seems no people knows even the pilot guide doesn't!!! I was shocked by the photos esp. Lin Au village, Lung Yeuk Tau and Shing Mun Reservoir. You can never imagine such landscapes can appear in Hong Kong the "Asian World City". Those landscapes I even cannot find in HK Tourist Association's homepage!!! I think many people like me who never see that side of Hong Kong.
