Hong Kong's high living index, high prices and political uncertainty have all contributed to the desire of Hong Kong people to move overseas after retirement and to live in another place where prices are low, security is good and easy to integrate into the local community. In recent years, many Hong Kong people have chosen to immigrate to Asian countries, which is similar to Hong Kong's language, culture and climate, and is relatively easy to adapt to and integrated into the diverse life of the region.
