The dominant religions are Buddhism and Taoism, although there are many other religions represented in Hong Kong, including Christianity, Catholicism, and Ancestor Worship.
Hong Kong occupies a leading position in terms of telecommunications, and the infrastructure is both sophisticated and varied. Both Chinese (usually Cantonese) and English are used widely, with most official documents now printed in both, and there are a number of English language dailies in circulation, including the Asian Wall Street Journal, the Eastern Express, the Hong Kong Standard, International Herald Tribune, and the South China Morning Post.
The climate is tropical, and the more popular pursuits include horse racing, golf, water sports, and various contact sports such as football and rugby. The crime rate is generally low, although there has been an increase in petty crime (such as pick-pocketing), and the night life is exceptionally lively, both for locals and expats.
