Living in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is a diverse, bustling, and cosmopolitan city. It is the world's largest offshore financial center after Luxembourg, and the premier destination for corporate and household wealth in Asia. Hong Kong's longevity is among the highest in the world.
There are tons of outdoor activities - nearly half the land is devoted to country parks, and there are dozens of beaches and islands. Hiking is the favorite national pastime. Hong Kong is also big on art, music, and theater.
Although housing is tight, it's no different from other major metropolitan areas, such as New York City and London. The overall cost of living is 33% cheaper than in New York City, and there are many fun travel opportunities nearby (e.g., in South East Asia and the Chinese mainland).
The salary is competitive and the taxes are negligible (less than 2% of the postdoc income). There is no sales tax, VAT, or GST. The Hong Kong dollar is pegged to the US dollar
