Affiliate disclosure
How Expats HK makes money, which links earn a commission, and what that does and does not influence.
Expats HK carries no affiliate links, no sponsored posts and no advertising. Nothing on this site earns money when you click it, and nobody pays to appear here.
Why this page exists anyway
Because the honest answer to “how does this site make money” is worth stating even when the answer is “it does not”. It also means you can read a recommendation here without wondering which link paid for it.
If that changes
Chiefly serviced apartments and short-let accommodation, insurance, and tours and tickets. This site carries no eSIM or connectivity links. If commercial links are ever added, this page will say so before they appear, every such link will go through a /go/ redirect tagged as sponsored, and the pages carrying them will show a notice next to the links rather than only in the footer.
How we choose what to recommend
Areas are compared on the same four measures throughout - rent for a one and a two bedroom, commute to Central in minutes, what you get in square feet, and who it does not suit - so the pages can be read against each other. Where an area is popular for reasons that do not survive scrutiny, the page says which those are.
