I recently relocated to Hong Kong, urgently looking for a nice quiet affordable apartment. I have done my research online and came to conclude between a fancy but tiny studio in Discovery Bay or a one bedroom home sweet home in Peng Chau for my budget of $6000. I want to experience the local Hong Kong culture while able to hop on a ferry and reach Central fast. Im very down to earth and self sufficient. I have noticed that the rent increased substantially from what I was told in the past. $6000 doesn't seem to get much nowadays. What do you think?

Hi, yes, 6k is not a lot. You said you wanted to experience local HK culture, then DB is not it, the outlying islands or even South Lantau (Mui Wo, Piu O, Tung Fuk, etc) will give you a better taste of real local down to earth culture - people are friendly and open there. Have a look at places in South Lantau, you will be amazed what you can find. If I had to toss between DB or PC, and is single, would choose the latter, but that is only me.

Stroebee is right ,if you want to experience local HK culture then DBAY is not the right choice for you.I would choose PC, been living here for 12 years ,I enjoyed my 35-40 mins time in ferry I can relax before and after work.
