What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Shekou. They wrote...
"One of the most difficult aspects of Shekou life for expats to adjust to is the busy lifestyle. The pace of life can be particularly frenetic due to the large number of people living and working in the area. In addition, while Shekou is generally very accepting of foreign cultures and customs, navigating the Chinese culture and language can still be a barrier. Another challenge is the consumer culture that has arisen in recent years, as expats might feel pressure to buy the latest designer clothes or newest electronic gadgets in order to fit in. Finally, Shekou is known for its extreme weather, meaning that expats must be prepared for scorching summer heat as well as temperatures that can drop below freezing in the winter," wrote a member who made the move to Shekou, China, China.
