Want to experience the expat life without feeling a million miles away from home? Hong Kong is an ideal place to start. It is a ‘melting pot’ of Eastern and Western cultures, not to mention that it is also home to both vibrant cityscapes as well as tranquil natural landscapes. Whatever lifestyle you lead, you will find a piece of home in Hong Kong.
With bilingualism being the foundation of Hong Kong’s language policy, the city’s demand for English-speaking teachers has always been high, which means the job market in the education sector is always going to be strong. ESL teachers in Hong Kong also enjoy a relatively competitive salary while benefiting from the city’s low tax rates.
