1.Yep, of course. There're many foreigns living and working in HK without speaking Chinese or Cantonese. Hong Kong's official languages are English and Chinese. Most people can speak english.

2.The living cost is higher than other cities in china. How much money should bring with, hmmm...it depends on where you live, have meals and how long you plan to stay there.

3.The public transportation is convenience there. So it's ok to get around without a car.

4.I went to Hongkong several times. It is a safe city day or night. The HK Police who served under the British government continue to maintain law and order. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash or valuables. Beware of pickpocketing in busy districts.
