Best for: Short stays — the costs and political situation push it out of base territory.

Hong Kong has slipped down most nomad lists since 2020 — the political shifts and the cost stack have made it hard to justify as a base.

Best treated as a transit city, not a base, unless you have a specific HK-anchored business reason.
