What should I pack when moving to Sai Kung?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Sai Kung, you should pack lightweight clothing due to the city's humid subtropical climate. Include items like shorts, t-shirts, and light dresses. However, also pack a few sweaters and jackets for cooler months or air-conditioned places. Don't forget to pack a good quality raincoat or umbrella, as Hong Kong can experience heavy rainfall. Pack comfortable walking shoes, as you may find yourself walking or using public transportation frequently. Also, consider packing a swimsuit for the beautiful beaches in Sai Kung. Bring along your essential toiletries, but remember that most items can be easily purchased in Hong Kong. If you have specific brands you prefer, it might be a good idea to bring them along. Pack all necessary documents including your passport, visa, driver's license, and any other identification. Also, bring copies of important documents like your birth certificate, medical records, and insurance policies. If you take prescription medication, bring an adequate supply along with a copy of your prescription. Also, pack a basic first aid kit with band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and pain relievers. Don't forget to pack your electronics like your laptop, phone, and chargers. An international power adapter would also be useful as Hong Kong uses a different plug type. Pack some comfort items from home, like photos or favorite snacks, to help you settle into your new environment. Lastly, consider packing a few learning materials to help you learn Cantonese or Mandarin if you're not already fluent," wrote a member who made the move to Sai Kung, Hong Kong.
