What should I pack when moving to Sha Tin?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Sha Tin to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Sha Tin, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for a subtropical climate, including lightweight clothing for the hot and humid summers, and warmer clothing for the cooler winters. Don't forget to pack a good quality raincoat and umbrella, as Hong Kong can experience heavy rainfall, particularly during the typhoon season. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, as you'll likely be doing a lot of walking. If you plan on hiking or exploring the many parks and trails in and around Sha Tin, consider packing hiking boots or sturdy sneakers. Pack your essential toiletries, but remember that most items can be easily purchased in Hong Kong. If you have specific brands or products you prefer, it may be worth bringing them with you. Bring any necessary prescription medications, along with copies of your prescriptions. It's also a good idea to bring a basic first aid kit. If you're moving for work or study, don't forget to pack any necessary documents, such as your passport, visa, work permit, or school records. Pack a power adapter for your electronics, as Hong Kong uses a different plug type and voltage than many other countries. Lastly, consider packing a few items to make your new place feel like home, such as photos, favorite books, or small keepsakes," remarked another expat who made the move to Sha Tin, Hong Kong.
