Cantonese is the Chinese dialect spoken by over
88% of the people in Hong Kong. However, English is widely used in
the Govenrment and by the legal, professional and business sectors
as well as tourist areas. Most taxi drivers and salespeople are able
to communicate in English.
Chinese and English are the offical lanuages of Hong Kong. All
official signs are bilingual (using traditional characters). Most
shops and restaurants also have English signage, though don't expect
this from the more local or rural establishments.
Religions
Hong Kong is a multicultural and secular city with a multiracial
population living in harmony. Tolerance for the customs and
traditions of all religions and ethnic groups is part of the city's
cosmopolitan philosophy. People are free to openly worship according
to their own beliefs. |
