Clothing & Shoes: The most attractive when on sale

·Top famous brands

A survey shows that famous brand fashion is the first choice for Shenzhen people to shop in Hong Kong, such as Brands like GUCCI and Armani are usually not discounted in Shenzhen, and the prices may make you afraid to look at them, but it is different in Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, if you don't look at them at this time, you will definitely regret it. There are huge discounts when the seasons change and around Christmas. A friend tried to buy an Armani belt in Hong Kong at a 20% discount for more than 100 Hong Kong dollars. Festival Walk, located on the Kowloon Tong MTR station, and Taikoo Shing, located in Quarry Bay, Hong Kong Island, are very suitable for buying clothes for your husband or boyfriend. The shopping environment there is good, and the brand-name men's clothing has new styles, and it is about 30% cheaper than in the mainland. It is very Cost effective.

If the genuine prices are too outrageous and exceed your budget, you may wish to consider Granville Road and Outlet Mall in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hang Fook Commercial Building in Jordan, Fa Yuen Street in Mong Kok, Pedder House in Central, and Causeway Bay Hang Lung Center and Royal Fort, these places have various wholesale stores, export stores, and second-hand stores. These stores usually have small storefronts and unobtrusive store names. They specialize in selling products directly sold by famous brand manufacturers, out-of-season products or defective products at 50% off or even lower. They are a good place to find goods.

·Mid-range brands

Esprit, Giordano, the prices in Hong Kong and the mainland are exactly the same, except for some special styles, generally there is no need to buy them.

However, there is an Esprit discount store in Tsim Sha Tsui. The price starts at 20% off. Compared with Shenzhen, it is dirt cheap. However, the size is small, so it is suitable for petite girls to go shopping.

·Fur

Buying fur in Hong Kong is very cost-effective. The price of top-quality fur here is only 50 in the UK and 75 in Japan. Moreover, due to the warm climate in Hong Kong, leather jackets are sold at half price after the season, and the quality is very good, so it is very suitable to buy.

Cosmetics: Perfume masks are cheap and good-quality

The skin care products and makeup sold in Hong Kong are not only of guaranteed quality, but also have a big price difference with those in the mainland because of the tax exemption. For example, SK-Ⅱ, in Shenzhen, a facial mask costs more than 120 yuan, but in Hong Kong it only costs more than 80 yuan; while the price of lancome is only about 60% of the price in Shenzhen; clinic only accounts for about 65% to 70% of the price in Shenzhen (except for eye cream, which accounts for 80% ). The most distinctive ones are "cosmetics supermarkets" such as Sasa, Rainbow, and Bonjour. Many brands are directly imported from abroad, and the price is cheaper than the makeup counters attached to ordinary department stores in Hong Kong. There are many discounts, and there are special promotions for different brands from time to time, which really makes girls excited. But be careful as store clerks will sell you products that are about to expire or some Swiss and other unpopular brands that even Hong Kong people can’t afford.

·Perfume

The biggest price difference is GUCCIENVY, and the price differences among men's perfumes are also large. Rainbow Perfume has more types than SASA, and the easier one to find is the one in Causeway Bay, right next to SASA and Ajisen Ramen.

·Others

BODYSHOP’s natural beauty products, Shiseido and KANEBO’s shampoo and bath series are more than twice as cheap as those in Shenzhen. I particularly recommend BODYSHOP's foot scrub. MM's feet should also be taken care of with foot cream that is not available in Shenzhen.

Jewelry: Gold and silver jewelry cost the most

In Shenzhen, many couples buy their wedding diamond rings in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is dotted with gold and jewelry stores. Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, Des Voeux Central in Central and Queen's Road Central are three of the jewelry store concentration areas. Today, gold jewelry stores in Hong Kong can be divided into old and new schools. Stores such as Tse Sui-lin, Chow Sang Sang, Chow Tai Fook, Luk Fook, and King Fook belong to the old-school category. They sell 999 pure gold products, but they also sell avant-garde gold jewelry with fine and high-quality inlay work. The new generation of gold jewelry stores, such as "JUST GOLD JUST DIAMOND" and "JUST GOLD JUST DIAMOND", target women of the era, pay attention to fashion and individuality, and focus on creativity and style.

After visiting a store like "The Eyepiece", you realize that gold can be very fashionable without being tacky at all.

It is important to remind you that the price of gold jewelry in Hong Kong is different from that in Shenzhen. It consists of two parts: gold price and craftsmanship fee. The more complex and delicate the workmanship of the jewelry, the more expensive the craftsmanship fee will be. So don’t just look at the day’s gold price posted at the door!

When you first enter a jewelry store, you will think that Hong Kong diamonds of the same carat are much more expensive than those in the Mainland. In fact, this is not the case. The color and clarity of Hong Kong diamonds are much better than those in the Mainland. It is better to buy jewelry from time-honored brands such as Chow Sang Sang, Chow Tai Fook, and TSL, rather than small jewelry stores.

Sports and leisure products: Don’t miss “Fa Yuen Street”

If you are a sports fan, then don’t miss Fa Yuen Street in Mong Kok. This is called "Sports Street". In just two blocks from the junction of Fa Yuen Street and Argyle Street to Shandong Street, there are no less than 20 sports goods stores. Almost all sports goods stores, and almost all sports goods and equipment can be found here. turn up. But the most popular items are sports shoes. The price is not cheaper than in Shenzhen, and the sports shoes are even more expensive, but the accessories are much more complete, and the imported rock climbing accessories are cheaper. Also, once you get a discount, it’s really tempting.

Electronic products: computer speakers are very cost-effective

In addition to fashion and cosmetics that women care about, if you want to buy cheap computers, you can go to small shops or roadside stalls in Sham Shui Po in Kowloon, especially Second-hand computers and mobile phones are sold on Apliu Street, and tourists can enjoy bargaining. Fengze Electric Co., Ltd. has guaranteed quality, but is slightly more expensive. It is worth paying special attention that the system installed on Hong Kong computers is entirely in English. Tourists generally need to reinstall the system after returning to the mainland to type in Chinese. Digital cameras and accessories in Hong Kong are also much cheaper than in the Mainland, and the price difference of audio equipment is also larger. MD players have new styles, many of which are not available in Shenzhen, but they can be divided into "parallel imports" and "licensed goods." Among them, SONY products are slightly more expensive than similar products. Hong Kong is also the best place to buy world-famous electrical appliances and photographic equipment. Among them, chain stores such as Fortress and Broadway are large and reputable businesses.

Watches: All world-famous watches are available

Regardless of men and women, watches are also the focus of respondents’ purchase in Hong Kong. According to reports, you can see many good watches in Hong Kong that cannot be seen in the mainland, and the prices are much cheaper than in Shenzhen. For example, Cartier trinity costs 13,300 yuan in the mainland, but only 7,100 Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong; another example is OMEGA, the price is about 70% of the mainland price; as for TagHeuer, the price difference is not small.

For watches, I particularly recommend the Shanghai Watch Store in front of Times Square. The store is not big, but has a good attitude and a good reputation. There are also many watch stores in Mong Kok; Tsim Sha Tsui is 20% more expensive than other places.

As for fashion watches, SWATCH’s prices are about the same as those in the Mainland, but they have watch straps and other accessories that are not available in the Mainland. You might as well buy one or two straps, either as gifts or for personal use. SEIKO watches have many more styles than those in the mainland. Friends who like Japanese dramas can check out more.

Tips for taking the subway

1. When taking the subway, the most convenient thing is to buy an Octopus. It can be used as a "card" to "swipe" in any store, and it can also be recharged in convenience stores. However, the subway in Hong Kong is relatively expensive. It will cost you more than ten yuan in a few stops, so it is best to stock up on "ammunition".

2. When taking the elevator, please stand on the right. There is a "passing lane" on the left, which is convenient for people who are in a hurry to pass quickly.

3. Hong Kong prohibits smoking in public transportation, markets and some public places, so do not smoke in the subway.

Hong Kong’s shopping traps are exposed

After the implementation of Hong Kong’s free travel, a large number of mainland tourists flocked to Hong Kong for sightseeing and shopping, which benefited Hong Kong’s economy. However, a few unscrupulous businesses targeted the life of mainland tourists. The weakness of Liangsheng has deceived tourists through fraud and other methods, which has also seriously damaged Hong Kong's reputation. A mainland tourist was "ripped off" twice in a row and vowed not to shop in Hong Kong for ten years.

A woman named Quan was shopping alone on August 27. When she walked into a store selling seafood on Nathan Road, she saw a handwritten price tag on the seafood, which was NT$188. It was marked with a big cross, and underneath it was marked with a colored pen "168 yuan, one pound, 10% off." Ms. Quan expressed her intention to buy it, and the clerk started to calculate the price after cutting it into pieces, saying, "1 tael is 168 yuan, after the discount." It’s 2,400 yuan for you.” At this time, Ms. Quan discovered that there was a word “two” on the price tag in an inconspicuous corner. Ms. Quan had the idea of ??returning the product, but the clerk refused on the grounds that "you must buy it if it's chopped into pieces" and called another man. But Ms. Zhongquan had no choice but to hand over all the 1,500 yuan in cash she had on her and the remaining 250 yuan in her credit card before she could escape.

Afterwards, Ms. Quan learned that another friend, Ajie, encountered the same experience. Another store on Nathan Road asked her to buy chopped stone scales for NT$1,800. Because A Jie had a tough attitude and claimed to call the police, the other party did not succeed. Ms. Quan also said that this was the second time she had been deceived within four days of her stay in Hong Kong. On the evening of August 25, she wanted to buy a certain camera that cost 3,500 yuan. During the test, the store owner secretly dimmed the display, claiming that the camera could not capture any objects at night, and strongly recommended another camera. A camera with a price tag of 7,000 yuan was introduced, "This one is different. It has infrared rays, so it is very bright." Ms. Quan bought the camera on the recommendation of the store clerk. After buying it home, she learned that cameras can generally adjust the light. Ms. Quan said that the three times she and her friends were defrauded all occurred on Nathan Road. She said that with the opening of individual travel and the cheaper and cheaper travel fees, more tourists will come to Hong Kong. They usually go to the Nathan Road area for shopping. However, the "bullying" behavior of some unscrupulous merchants not only makes Hong Kong The decrease in business in Dun Road has also damaged the overall image of Hong Kong. Ms. Quan said that her interest in shopping in Hong Kong was greatly affected, saying, "I will not go to Hong Kong in ten years and will never spend money in Hong Kong!"

In response to this situation, the industry called for insisting on "integrity-based" operations. The concept is to maintain Hong Kong's reputation as a "shopping paradise" and at the same time require relevant departments to strengthen inspection and law enforcement to crack down on illegal activities. As the number of mainland tourists visiting Hong Kong for shopping increases, consumer protection agencies hope that shoppers will continue to mature and learn to protect their legitimate rights and interests, and dialing the "999" police call when necessary is one way to do this.
