We asked expats and digital nomads what they appreciate the most about the local culture in Hong Kong. They wrote...
"people are friendly and polite most of the time. Hong Kong is very clean in most respects (not the ocean or the air though), and is very safe. It has excellent public transport and english signage, and is easy to explore. I do live on Hong Kong island which is expat friendly though, and I am sure this is why it sometimes gets called "Asia lite"," said another expat in Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
"Expats in Hong Kong appreciate the city's vibrant energy and the unique blend of East and West cultures. They also enjoy the city's diverse food scene, with a variety of cuisines from all over the world. Additionally, expats appreciate the city's efficient public transportation system, which makes getting around easy and convenient. Furthermore, expats enjoy the city's many outdoor activities, such as hiking, biking, and swimming, as well as its many cultural attractions, such as museums, galleries, and temples. Finally, expats appreciate the city's friendly and welcoming people, who are always willing to help out newcomers," wrote a member who made the move to Hong Kong.
