Hi,
I'm not in your situation right now but have been before and from what little I know of Hong Kong - it's actually quite a good place to meet people without having to go drinking in bars/clubs.
How about taking up a sport or Hobby (as was previously suggested).
You could take up tennis and post an ad for single guys to play tennis against - a little blatant but why not, you get to spend time with each other without any committment whatsoever and who knows if you get on, you might arrange to meet up off court.
If you like hiking, there's plenty of great trails - again, post an ad on Geoexpat for group hikes - I would suggest you do this until you get to know somebody as an isolated hike with a stranger may not make you (or them) very comfortable.
Post an ad on Geoexpat for a group singles meeting - If you like reading, why not organise a singles only book club?
..and finally....a little off the wall but how about going to one of those sushi bars with the rotating bar.....grab a seat at the bar and who knows, a single guy might sit next to/near you and then it's simply a case of making a move. :-)
Anyway, sorry I can't think of anything more creative and best of luck.
Cacia,
Also....in one of the other forums (Meet & Greet) there was this thread that might interest you.

Good luck.
Ive gone on one date here thru this website thats all it is, im still trying to know more people and i feel better than when I first came to hong kong 2 years ago. It is a bit difficult to meet locals here though, not all of them are friendly and if they dont know u, they dont know u, they hardly ever engage in a conversation or show any initiative to know anyone. Hence ones that do show an initiave or any of the above would be surrounded by guys because there's never any around here!
Cant totally agree with you. yes right not all locals are friendly and even some could be mean and impolite, yet locals who show unwillingness to hold conversations with strangers (especially gwelios)could be due to reasons, e.g. characteristics of oneself, confidence in speaking other language, etc.
btw not that hard to meet locals as black heads still in a large % on the street than blonde or brown or grey or....(not talking about those who dyed their hair though)
