 Hong Kong - concrete jungle under repressive Chinese control? That, according to author and Hong Kong resident Michael Queeney, is the misconception harboured by many about the former British colony - and one which his recently released e-book on Hong Kong displaces with the reality. Queeney has lived in Hong Kong for more than 23 years, and it is abundantly clear from this little gem of a book that he loves the place.
This report, in eBook format, provides current insider information on moving to and living in Hong Kong - written by someone who has done exactly that. In the process, he learned what it takes to live and be happy in great city. The author is a British expat who has found happiness in the Orient and believes you will too.
Yes, he concedes, changes have certainly taken place since Hong Kong was reunified with the People's Republic of China in 1997, but in many respects for the better. In the book, he paints a vivid picture of "the real Hong Kong" - a vibrant and exciting place to live and work or do business, or simply to visit. And those contemplating any of these options will find a wealth of information on all aspects of Hong Kong within its "pages" - history, cultures (Hong Kong's is a richly cosmopolitan society), business, work, immigration, housing, education, healthcare, dining, leisure; all the things, in fact, that one could wish to know about a prospective medium to long term foreign destination.
Beyond the towering concrete and glass canyons of one of the world's most thriving financial and commercial centres, Queeney also introduces us to Hong Kong's wild and beautiful rural areas, describing the mountainous country parks, the many undeveloped islands, exotic, remote and unpopulated beaches, and a bewildering variety of wildlife species. The text is enriched by links to official and commercial Hong Kong websites where the reader can find detailed information to supplement that offered by Queeney himself. |
