Most people who speak good to great English, really. Most shops, barss and restaurants with staff who speak good English. The pressure to learn Chinese is substantially lower than elsewhere. You will not have the benefit of anything resembling total immersion.
Doesn't that depend on you? I've known about people who only stick to English and get around fine but I suspect there are always opportunities to practice if one wants, no?
