Hong Kong is a vibrant place and this is evident from the soaring skyscrapers, world-class hotels, and fine dining eateries with traditional temples alongside. You can’t help but be mesmerized by the pace of the city. Interning here can be a really fascinating cultural experience where you’ll learn new skills, boost your career and discover amazing places in your free time.
Work Experience in Hong Kong
Hong Kong enjoys one of the best locations in Asia. Nestled on the South-Eastern corner of Mainland China, it is an obvious choice for a trade port and ideal for inter-regional traveling. Because of this, Hong Kong has often been the object of other countries’ interest and most recently has been part of both the Commonwealth Empire and subsequently the Chinese.
As a special autonomous region, Hong Kong is quite different from interning in China both in terms of politics and culture, but also in its attitude towards foreigners. Although Hong Kong is quite small by Asian standards, it still has many distinct areas; Kowloon, Central, Hong Kong Business District, Mongkok and others.
If there is one thing we can tell you for certain about your internship in Hong Kong, it is that it will be fly by in a heart beat! Time just moves differently in Hong Kong. When you are not at the office of your internship, you might go on a junk ship with your friends, visiting nearby islands such as Lantau or Macao.
You can do some serious shopping in the glitzy malls, enjoy a drink with a view in one of the many sky bars and roof tops, watch world class sports events, or go for a hike in one of the surrounding hills. There is just no way you will run out of things to do, not in this place.
