In the three most economical tourist cities in China, tourists complain that they can't afford to eat there. What happened?

Hong Kong, Macao and Shanghai, because of their rapid development, the local consumption level is relatively high. As special administrative regions of the country, the local consumption level of Hong Kong and Macao can't be compared with that of China, while Shanghai, as a first-tier city of the country, is also notoriously unique, so eating in these places is really expensive.

First, in Hong Kong, where daily necessities are really cheap, normal consumption is really horribly expensive.

Hong Kong is a shopping paradise. Local daily necessities are really cheap, and duty-free shops can also find many good goods. So many people think that buying foreign goods in Hong Kong is the cheapest and most economical. Friends who have been to Hong Kong in person will find that the prices of local hotels, taxis, scenic spots tickets and so on are really speechless.

Second, in Macao, where goods are guaranteed and cheap, tourism consumption is also prohibitively expensive.

In fact, many goods in Macao are cheaper than those in Hong Kong, but the tourism consumption here is really expensive. The local hotels are quite developed. Although there are not many scenic spots, it is better than Hong Kong that you can take a hotel car instead of taking a taxi.

Third, Shanghai is rich in scenic spots, but its domestic consumption is amazing.

Compared with Hongkong and Macau, Shanghai is the most special city in China. There are famous Bund, Thames Town and Disney in the local area, but the local hotels, transportation and food prices are almost the same as those in the Special Administrative Region, so it is difficult for tourism to feel at ease.

In the final analysis, it is the local economic development that affects prices, and rising prices will lead to no food.
