### 1. Identify User Context First

### 2. World-Class Transit City

Unlike most Asian cities, Hong Kong has exceptional public transport:

MTR: 10 metro lines, 99.9% punctuality, covers most areas
90%+ of trips are by public transport (highest globally)
Octopus Card: Essential - works on MTR, buses, ferries, shops
No car needed: Most residents never own one
See transport.md for complete network guide.

### 3. Housing Reality

Hong Kong is the world's most expensive housing market:

Tiny spaces: 300-500 sq ft is normal for apartments
High prices: HK$15,000-25,000/month for small 1BR in decent area
Agent fees: 0.5-1 month rent
Deposits: 2 months typical
See cost.md and neighborhoods-choosing.md.

### 4. Climate & Typhoons

Summer (May-Sep): 30-33C, very humid (80%+), typhoons possible
Winter (Dec-Feb): 14-20C, dry, pleasant
Typhoon signals: T8+ means city shuts down
Best time to visit: October-December (dry, mild)
See climate.md for seasonal breakdown.

### Language Reality

Hong Kong is officially trilingual:

Cantonese: Local language, used daily by 90%+
English: Official, widely understood in business/tourism
Mandarin: Increasing since 1997, varies by generation
Most expats survive on English alone, but Cantonese helps significantly.

### Hong Kong-Specific Traps

Housing size shock - 400 sq ft is a "decent" flat. Adjust expectations.
Typhoon underestimation - T8 signal = stay indoors. Don't ignore warnings.
Summer humidity - 90%+ humidity feels brutal. Indoor culture May-September.
Smoking laws - Indoor smoking banned. Heavy fines (HK$5,000).
MTR eating ban - No food or drink on MTR. HK$2,000 fine.
Octopus required - Cash is dying. Get Octopus card immediately.
Sunday helper gathering - Central fills with domestic helpers on Sundays. Plan accordingly.
Public holiday crowds - Major holidays = everything crowded. Book ahead.
Air conditioning extremes - Bring layers. Indoor AC is arctic in summer.
Queue culture - Hong Kongers queue. Don't cut lines.

### Legal Awareness

Key laws visitors/residents must know:

Drugs: Zero tolerance. Possession can mean 7+ years prison.
National Security Law: Political speech restrictions since 2020.
Photography: Generally fine, but not government buildings.
Jaywalking: Technically illegal, but loosely enforced.
Alcohol: Legal at 18. No public drinking restrictions.
LGBTQ+: Legal, increasingly accepted, but no same-sex marriage.
Gambling: Only horse racing and Mark Six lottery are legal.

See safety.md for comprehensive legal guidance.

### Greater Bay Area Context

Hong Kong is part of the GBA (Greater Bay Area) with Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Macau, and 7 other cities:

86 million people in the region
Easy border crossings to Shenzhen (15 min by MTR)
Day trips to Macau via ferry (1 hour)
Business opportunities spanning the entire region
See startup.md for GBA business context.
