Teach in Hong kong
Hong Kong, made up of mainland Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, is part of China but the formerly independent and densely populated metropolis is a long-established East Asian centre for International business and commerce in addition to being an administrative centre for China.
A former British colony that has developed in harmony with Western mores and open to Western influence far longer than mainland China, Hong Kong offers a very integrated and comfortable living experience for foreign English teachers, despite not having lost any of its authentic Chinese character.
The official languages are English and Chinese, but with a majority Chinese-speaking population, teaching opportunities still abound, inclusive of excellent benefits, easy access to mainland China and some of its own well-known cultural spectacles, such as the annual dragon-boat races. Hong Kong is also a centre for East Asian cuisine and unsurpassed shopping – from night markets to designer and bespoke stores.
Hong Kong is a safe, exciting and fascinating place, with many familiarities and comforts of home. It’s dynamic East-meets-West atmosphere means you can go to e xotic markets and restaurants for dinner or find some comfort food at a British pub or American-style eatery. It’s extremely easy to navigate, with a superior public transport system. The city is busy and vibrant but surprisingly about three-quarters of the territory is countryside. You are only a few steps away from a country park that offers walking trails, picnics, hiking and Hong Kong style BBQ. Scenically, Hong Kong has a great deal to offer, from Sandy beaches and woodlands to mountain ranges.
