"Expats considering retirement in Sheung Wan should be aware that the cost of living can be high, particularly for housing. They should also know that the healthcare system in Hong Kong is excellent, but private healthcare can be expensive. English is widely spoken in Sheung Wan, making it easier for expats to communicate and navigate daily life. The area is known for its mix of traditional and modern culture, with plenty of shops, restaurants, and historical sites to explore. Public transportation in Sheung Wan and throughout Hong Kong is efficient and reliable, so owning a car is not necessary. Expats should also be aware that Hong Kong has a subtropical climate, with hot, humid summers and mild winters. It's important to understand the visa requirements for living in Hong Kong, which typically involve proving a steady income or substantial savings. Hong Kong's tax system is relatively straightforward, with low personal income taxes. However, it's recommended to consult with a tax advisor to understand potential implications. Finally, while Hong Kong is generally safe, it's advisable to stay informed about the political situation, as the city has experienced periods of civil unrest," remarked another expat in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong.
