Hi I live in Hong Kong. As you may know in Hong Kong, both Chinese and English are widely used. In such a multi lingual city, what language i should use for Google my business or write reviews. Should I write both in Chinese and English? If you have some experiece or advice, it would be very appreciated!

Hi @hirotake ,
actually there is no best and exact answer to your question, however my personal suggestion is that, being a Local Guide, leave the reviews in your own language as you can express yourself better and be more helpful for other people seeking for a local language information. Note also that Maps translates the reviews automatically so everyone can always read your review in their own language.
Here and here there are some tips how to write a great review.

Hi @hirotake ,
Just as @LuigiZ mention, feel free to leave your review in your most comfortable language. And here is my experience, I am a local guide in Hong Kong. My mother language is Chinese. I sometimes leave my review bi-lingual as I know that spots might be a tourist spot where foreigners might want authentic English review. (you know, sometimes the auto-translation is a bit awkward, especially when it comes to some local food names)
