Hong Kong has been both a part of Imperial China and the British Empire

Once a small fishing and farming village, Hong Kong is now one of the busiest ports of the world and one of the most important centres of business. The city, an autonomous region of China, has been a part of Imperial China and the British Empire - it offers a pre-meeting-west stretch, which loves local people.

Ski Yo, a seven-year-old resident of Singapore's founding tour company Big Foot Tour, said, "Hong Kong is a busy metropolis that is still dipped in Chinese tradition." "Take the architecture. How about the building looks modern or progressive - like the HSBC building by Lord Norman Foster and Bank of China by IM PE - many of these buildings were made with the concept of Chinese feng shui." For example For thought, to allow an open atrium ground floor, air and good qi (energy) in HSBC building.

We talked to more than a million people in Hong Kong to find out how to navigate this unique energy and way of life.

Why do people like it?

Among all Asian metros, there is a pull in Hong Kong which is of itself. While its impressive galaxy may look very modern, ancient traditions survive. One of the most famous is 'Villain Hitting', which is practiced by women to some extent, which is paid to the residents too, unfortunately, to get out.

"We have modern day witch who curses people, you can get a group of them under the canal road flyover in Causeway Bay, this is especially worth a sight in the evening," Yo said, Explaining that candlelight and burning sunlight lends in another dramatic environment. In a common ritual, the woman has to kill a piece of 'villain paper' (in which a customer can be included in the name of the person in which a customer has to be punished) with a slipper or shoe, scare the evil spirits And to drive or bother the client.

These strong connections for tradition do not stop the city from being highly welcomed by other cultures. As the home of many European and Asian expats, the city has an international experience that makes it easy for newcomers to fit. More than half of the residents speak English too, communication reduces barriers, and many people make it easy to make new friends.

"I grew up in New York City where local people are not open to the idea of linking with strangers, but here many people offer to meet after a brief initial encounter," Audra Gordon, The founder of Fashion Agency said that global identity partners have been here for seven years. "You always have a connection away from a new opportunity."

What's the way to stay here?

Allen Law, CEO of Apollon Blockchain and longtime resident of Hong Kong, said that this city is moving fast, so the people who perform best here are those who love cities like New York, London and Tokyo.

"Businesses are also organized fast, if you eat in Chan Teng [a Hong Kong-style diner] in Hong Kong, then maybe five minutes after your order is placed, your food is served," Yo said.

Likewise, people speak straight without wasting time, rarely use pleasures like 'please' and 'thanks' which can be used by Westerners. They also remain in the face of challenges such as high real estate prices, which may surprise some. "You'll see a great restaurant at those places you will never imagine, like, on the 13th floor of a terrible building, doing small business places to install shops, or what we call 'casket house' Said. "There is always a creative way, and Hong Kong people do not give up."

While English is widely spoken, most Hong Kong speak Cantonese as their first language. But residents constantly invented a new slogan, which could be obscure for speakers living somewhere else.

"'黐線' (ci-sin) literally means 'sticking wire', but this means 'crazy' or 'crazy' in the local context," Yo said. "Or we use '煲電話粥' (bou-din-waa-Zuk) to refer to someone who can talk on the phone for a long time. Indeed, it means 'boiling telephone comb'! "

The city's fast speed can be tedious, but nearby beaches and hiking trails provide an easy relief - Excellent and well utilized all areas are accessible through the public transport system.

"Sai Kung is a beautiful lake that lets you climb a rock; Lama Island is a quiet hiking place along the beaches, and there is a great beach to grow on Shack O Beach," originally from the US The development marketing expert Stacey Caprio said.

What else do I need to know?
Property is extremely expensive. According to the Price comparison site Expatistan.com, 67% more expensive than the same place in London instead of 85 square meters and 34% more expensive than New York City. Residents say that reducing the burden of lowering and economical public transport costs.

A creative way is to buy alcohol for residents to save money on 7-Eleven. While somewhere else in the world, 7-Eleven can be just a convenience store, here in Hong Kong, this is a way of life. Local people like to buy their own drink here because it comes with fast service and service tax.
