Helpful Chinese Place Names and Cantonese Phrases .............. 198-208 Chinese place names Handy phrases in Cantonese Chapter 1: Introduction Welcome to Hong Kong!! Below are some of the basic facts about the dynamic and vibrant Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) that is your new home. The HKSAR came into being in mid-1997 when sovereignty of the territory was returned to the People’s Republic of China, and comprises three main areas, Hong Kong Island, urban Kowloon and the New Territories with its many modern New Towns. Hong Kong: The facts* Area 1,098 square km Demographic characteristics Population 6.7 million Median age 36 Sex ratio 960 males per 1,000 females Ethnicity Chinese 6.36 million (94.9%) Non-Chinese 0.34 million (5.1%) Language Official Chinese and English Major dialect Cantonese Proportion of population able to 43% speak English Education Proportion of population with upper 52.2% secondary or higher education Employment Labour force participation rate 61.4% Median monthly income HK$12,000 (male) HK$8,900 (female) Religion Majority are Buddhists and Taoists * Figures on population, age, sex, ethnicity, education and employment are based on Population Census 2001. ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ 1 Chapter 2: Arriving in Hong Kong This and the ensuing chapters provide important information on employment and immigration matters as required by the authorities in Hong Kong. You are advised to update periodically with your own Consulate and/or relevant authorities of your place of origin concerning updated arrangements and policies on employment and immigration matters which may affect you during your stay in Hong Kong. Immigration Where do I go? What should I do? After you get off the plane, follow the signs to the Immigration counters. Then line up in front of one of the counters marked “Visitors”. The Immigration Officer will ask for your passport, immigration card and your copy of the original contract. If everything goes right, your passport will be stamped with a date stating the limit of your stay in Hong Kong. This is normally two years if you are a foreign domestic helper, starting from the date of your arrival in Hong Kong (please see Chapter 4 for more details). Once you clear Immigration, go to the assigned baggage collection carousel, get a trolley (they are free), collect your luggage and follow the other passengers to the Customs area. Customs Prohibited / Controlled Items Hong Kong is particularly strict about possible smuggling of drugs, firearms and other prohibited articles. Customs officers have the power to search not only all of your luggage, but also to arrange a personal search on you, if required (see below). Furthermore, Customs detector dogs may be deployed to patrol in the Arrival Hall and other areas of the Passenger Terminal. Therefore, do not attempt to bring in any of the following Prohibited / Controlled Items without a licence or permit: • Narcotics such as Opium, Morphine, Heroin, Cocaine, Cannabis, Methadone and other narcotic analgesics; • Psychotropic drugs, including most stimulants, hypnotics, tranquillizers and ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ 2 ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ sedatives such as Amphetamine, 3, 4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, commonly known as “Ecstasy”), Benzodiazephine, Quinalbarbitone, Methaqualone, Estazolam, Midazolam, Ketamine and others; • Antibiotics and other poisons such as Penicillin, Tetracycline, Corticosteroid and
