What Swiss expats have to say about living in Hong Kong

We asked tens of thousands of expats about their lives abroad in our Expat Insider surveys. In addition to our standard questions, we invite them to share what they like or dislike about their experiences in their own words. Here, we’ve selected some of the most interesting or representative quotes about expat life in Hong Kong from Swiss expats, grouped into positive and negative opinions.

Let’s start with the positive ones.

One of my favourite things about Hong Kong is South Lantau which I think is the best place in Hong Kong because its peaceful, the rest of HK is not as enjoyable for living, unless you have a load of money to spend on rent.

Living in Hong Kong, what I find difficult is that the local people can come off as rude. The school systems is not as great as I expected and I feel that the government doesn't do anything for the environment, instead they still have landfill, food waste is a huge problem because of the closed mindset of the local people
