Hong Kong is one of the biggest business hubs in the world, so naturally, it’s a home (or at least a temporary home) to many digital nomads. If you’re planning to work in HK and explore the city like a true local, here are a few tips that will help you with accommodation, workspace and attractions.

This festival will serve as a bold reminder for foodies around the world that Hong Kong will continue to be at the top of the list of dining destinations in the post-COVID era.

For gourmets with discerning taste, Hong Kong is top of mind as one of the culinary capitals of the world.
