"Living in Hong Kong as an expat or digital nomad can be an exciting and rewarding experience. The city is a vibrant and cosmopolitan hub, with a diverse range of cultures and cuisines. Expats and digital nomads can enjoy the city's many attractions, from its world-class shopping and dining to its stunning skyline and stunning beaches. The city also offers a wide range of accommodation options, from luxury apartments to budget-friendly hostels. The cost of living in Hong Kong is relatively high, but the city's excellent public transport system makes it easy to get around. Expats and digital nomads can also benefit from the city's excellent healthcare system and its strong economy," wrote a member who made the move to Hong Kong.
