What do people like (and dislike) about Hong Kong?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Hong Kong, they replied...

"Expats and digital nomads often appreciate the vibrant energy of Hong Kong, with its bustling streets, diverse culture, and exciting nightlife. They also enjoy the convenience of the city's efficient public transportation system and the availability of international cuisine. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the high cost of living and the lack of space in the city to be a challenge. Additionally, the air pollution and humidity can be a deterrent for some," remarked another expat in Hong Kong.

"I have lived in HK for 28 years. I've face discrimination mainly from local Hong Kong people. It is quite safe to live in HK until they started the protest in 2014 and again in 2019 which led now to passing the National Security Law. A lot of foreigners have left HK as well as local Chinese to go to the UK. Public Healthcare is almost free and very good. I have delivered two of my kids in Queen Mary Hospital and I couldn't recommend them enough for the quality of health care received from the doctors. Just don't expect compassion from the nurses and staff in the ward. They are very cold and soulless. School is terrible if you enroll in local/public school as the main language is Cantonese. The homework is overloaded and there is no sports/recreation subject. It's all very tough for young minds," said a member in Hongkong, Hong Kong.
