What are the pros and cons of living in Macao?

Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in Macao responded:

"Expats and digital nomads in Macao appreciate the city's vibrant culture, with its mix of Portuguese and Chinese influences. They also enjoy the city's low cost of living, which makes it an attractive destination for those looking to stretch their budget. Additionally, Macao's convenient location makes it easy to explore the rest of China and the rest of Asia. On the downside, expats and digital nomads may find the language barrier a challenge, as English is not widely spoken in Macao. Additionally, the city's small size can make it difficult to find a wide variety of activities and entertainment," said one member in Macao.
