Answer this Question

We asked expats in Wan Chai what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...

"Expats considering retirement in Wan Chai, should be aware that the cost of living is relatively high, especially when it comes to housing. They should also know that the healthcare system in Hong Kong is excellent, with a mix of public and private hospitals. English is widely spoken in Hong Kong, but learning some Cantonese could be beneficial for daily life. The city is known for its fast-paced lifestyle, which might be a significant change for those coming from quieter places. Wan Chai is a bustling district with a mix of modern skyscrapers and traditional markets, offering a unique blend of old and new. It's also worth noting that Hong Kong has a subtropical climate, with hot, humid summers and mild winters. Hong Kong's tax system is relatively straightforward, with low rates compared to many Western countries, but it's advisable to seek professional advice to understand the implications fully. Public transportation in Hong Kong is efficient and affordable, with a well-connected network of buses, trams, and the MTR (Mass Transit Railway). Hong Kong is a food paradise, and Wan Chai is no exception, with a wide variety of dining options ranging from street food to high-end restaurants. Lastly, while Hong Kong is generally safe, it's essential to stay informed about the political situation, as the city has experienced periods of civil unrest," remarked another expat in Wan Chai, Hong Kong.
