× Hong Kong is an international city that is well known for the Chinese culture, integrates with the Western culture, and is also one of the important international financial centers in the world.
✓ Hong Kong is an international city that is well known for Chinese culture, integrates with Western culture, and is also one of the most important international financial centers in the world.
Article errors and word form: 'the Chinese culture' and 'the Western culture' sound unnatural in this general statement; native English omits 'the' when speaking about cultures in general. Also 'one of the important' is awkward; use 'one of the most important' to correctly express degree. Suggestion: Remove 'the' before general culture nouns and use 'most' with 'one of the' to indicate highest degree.
× Hong Kong is renowned as food paradise.
✓ Hong Kong is renowned as a food paradise.
Missing article: 'food paradise' is a singular countable noun phrase and requires an article 'a'. Suggestion: Use 'a food paradise' or rephrase 'renowned as a food paradise' or 'renowned for its food'.
× You can enjoy everything from affordable St. stores to high end Michelin star restaurants, so there's always a huge variety to choose from.
✓ You can enjoy everything from affordable street stores to high-end Michelin-star restaurants, so there's always a huge variety to choose from.
Multiple issues: 'St. stores' is unclear/typo and should be 'street stores' or 'street food stalls'; 'high end' as an adjective needs a hyphen 'high-end'; 'Michelin star' used as adjective should be hyphenated 'Michelin-star'. These are orthographic and adjective formation issues (closest match: article/adjective use). Suggestion: Use clear nouns ('street stalls' or 'street food') and hyphenate compound adjectives before nouns.
× I was born and lived in Hong Kong over 30 years and I don't have plan to migrate to other countries so far because I like Hong Kong very much.
✓ I was born in Hong Kong and have lived here for over 30 years, and I don't have plans to migrate to other countries so far because I like Hong Kong very much.
Tense and agreement errors: 'was born and lived in Hong Kong over 30 years' is unclear. Use present perfect 'have lived' to indicate an action that started in the past and continues to the present. Also 'don't have plan' needs plural 'plans'. Suggestion: Use 'was born in' then 'have lived here for over 30 years'; use 'plans' for countable noun.
× Firstly, the public transport system is very con union.
✓ Firstly, the public transport system is very convenient.
Typo/incorrect word: 'con union' is not a word; intended word is 'convenient', an adjective describing the transport system. Suggestion: Use 'convenient' to describe ease of use. Also consider 'The public transport system is very convenient' without 'Firstly' if brevity is preferred.
× You can commute to everywhere in Hong Kong very easily by taking MTR bus or taxi.
✓ You can commute everywhere in Hong Kong very easily by taking the MTR, a bus, or a taxi.
Preposition and article issues: 'commute to everywhere' is incorrect; use 'commute everywhere' or 'travel to anywhere'. Also 'MTR bus or taxi' needs articles: 'the MTR' and singular 'a bus'/'a taxi' or plural 'buses'/'taxis'. Suggestion: Use 'commute everywhere' and include appropriate articles: 'the MTR, a bus, or a taxi'.
× Secondly, there are plenty of job opportunities in Hong Kong.
✓ Secondly, there are plenty of job opportunities in Hong Kong.
Sentence is correct. 'Plenty of job opportunities' is a correct plural noun phrase; no change needed. Suggestion: No change needed.
