TAINAN, Taiwan (Reuters) - Kitty Wong and Adolf Yim, both from Hong Kong, are finalising work on a hostel in Taiwan's southern city of Tainan that they hope will open its doors to holiday-makers next month.

This is the third hostel they are opening after arriving in 2016. The couple is part of a small but growing number of people from Hong Kong who have moved to Taiwan in recent years, many of them in search of a lower cost of living and worried about Beijing's tightening control over the former British colony, which was given special autonomy under Chinese rule in 1997.
