Hong Kong is a land of towering skyscrapers and a cultural hub where East meets West. Efficient infrastructure, advanced transportation, and modern healthcare systems make Hong Kong an ideal city in which to work.

Transportation

Hong Kong offers diverse options of public transport, such as Mass Transit Railways (MTR), buses, taxis, minibusses, ferries, and trams, making the city easy to navigate. Owning a private vehicle is not necessary.

Healthcare

Hong Kong has a highly developed healthcare system consisting of public and private hospitals, general outpatient and specialist clinics, and Chinese medicine practices. ICS also provides group medical and dental insurance to our employees and their dependents.

Geography & Climate

Hong Kong is one of the Special Administrative Regions of Mainland China. The main districts are Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the New Territories, and outlying islands such as Lantau Island and Lamma Island. Hong Kong is “Asia’s World City,” and traveling throughout Asia, Oceania, and Europe is incredibly convenient. Hong Kong's climate is subtropical yet seasonal: spring is temperate with occasional showers, and summer is hot, humid, and rainy; the temperature is lower in the fall when the weather becomes cooler and dry.

Shopping and Eating

Hong Kong is often described as a place where East meets West with a mix of traditional Chinese shops and mega malls with Western stores. Shopping is a favorite pastime in Hong Kong and can be done everywhere, from train stations to malls, night markets, or various other stores. Small Cantonese-style quick-eat restaurants and American sit-down restaurants are interspersed throughout the city, as well as dining options from practically any corner of the globe.

Population

Hong Kong's population is approximately 7.5 million people. About 92% of Hong Kong's population is of Chinese descent, while others are Americans, Canadians, British, Filipinos, Indonesians, Japanese and more.

Language

Cantonese is Hong Kong's daily language, but English and Mandarin are widely spoken throughout the city. Road signs and signages in Hong Kong are mostly bilingual.

Sights to See

Hong Kong has plenty of sights to see! Lan Kwai Fong, Tsim Sha Tsui, and Wan Chai are popular destinations packed with tourists and locals. And, on a clear day, the Peak provides a great view of the Hong Kong city skyline. The Hong Kong government also supports the arts and promotes cultural heritage with the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, Hong Kong Museum of Art, and the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, just to name a few.
