Transport
The fact that Hong Kong is a relatively small island means that most of Hong Kong’s public transport services reach all areas of the city. Whether it’s by bus, train, tram or ferry, these methods of transport are readily available across Hong Kong. If you are finding yourself running late, there are also a host of taxis that are available on most streets throughout the city. Hong Kong Airport offers direct flights to many international cities, and is located only 24 minutes away from central Hong Kong on the Hong Kong Airport Express train.
Weather
Known for having a very warm and sunny climate, Hong Kong rarely drop below 15 degrees in the winter. This can be an issue for the summer however, as highs of mid 30s means that both pollution and heat play a part in the quality of air. Amongst Hong Kong’s concrete jungle, the clear blue skies on a summer’s day can be quite the spectacle. There is little rainfall in Hong Kong, yet there can often be big storms that will put the city out of action for a couple of days.
Cuisine
Hong Kong’s cuisine is influenced by several cultures including Cantonese, British and European. This is unsurprising considering that Hong Kong was a British colony and has relatively recent Chinese governance. Therefore, Hong Kong is unique in that it caters for a variety of different cultures.
Language
As mentioned, Hong Kong has influence from several different cultures. Up until 1974, Hong Kong’s main spoken language was spoken was English. However, now that it is governed by China, Cantonese is the main language spoken in Hong Kong. Mandarin is also spoken by a large proportion of the population.
HSBC
The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) was founded in Hong Kong. Not many know that this worldwide bank originated in the city and is a good piece of information when visiting. Founded by Scotsman Thomas Sutherland, the bank is now one of the world’s largest corporations and will be the main point of contact for many businesses around the world.
Currency
Many presume that when visiting Hong Kong, you can just use Chinese currency (Chinese Yuan). However, this could not be further from the truth. Hong Kong has its own currency which is called the Hong Kong Dollar. This is an important piece of information considering many who visit Hong Kong on business for the first time take the wrong money with them.
