An Expat Talks about Living in Macao, China, China

What is the name of the city or town that you are reporting on?

Macao, China

If a friend of yours was thinking of moving to this city or town from far away, what other advice would you give them.

Before retiring in Macao, expats should ensure they meet the visa and residency requirements needed to legally live in the country. It is important to research the cost of living and the options available for healthcare, as well as other essential services for daily living. It is recommended for expats to learn basic Mandarin Chinese as most locals do not speak English and learning the language will make it easier to navigate the city. Macao has a subtropical climate, with warm and humid summers and mild winters, so it is important to dress accordingly. Finally, becoming part of the local community and making friends will make the adjustment to the new way of life much easier.
