Is it cheaper to buy a diamond ring in Hong Kong than in the Mainland? How much cheaper will it be? I heard that brands like Chow Tai Fook are very cheap in Hong Kong.

Clothing and shoes: the most attractive when discounted.

Top brand

A survey shows that brand-name fashion is the first choice for Shenzhen people to go shopping in Hong Kong. GUCCI, Armani and other brands are usually not discounted in Shenzhen, and the price may be too high to see, but Hong Kong is different. In Hong Kong, if you don't watch it, you will regret it. There will be a big discount around the season and Christmas. A friend tried to buy Armani's belt in Hong Kong and got a 20% discount, which was only 100 HK dollars. The Festival Walk at Kowloon Tong Station of the subway and Taikoo Shing at Quarry Bay on Hong Kong Island are both very suitable for buying clothes for husbands or boyfriends. The shopping environment there is good, and the designer's men's wear style is new, which is about 30% cheaper than the mainland, and the cost performance is very high.

If the prices of real brands are too outrageous and out of budget, we can consider Granville Road and Boutique City in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hengfu Commercial Building in Jordan, Garden Street in Mong Kok, Pit Hang in Central, Hang Lung Centre in Causeway Bay and Royal Castle, all of which have various wholesale shops, export shops and second-hand shops. These stores generally have small storefronts and inconspicuous store names. They specialize in brand-name factory direct sales, out-of-season goods or defective products, which are less than 50% off or even lower. They are good places for shopping.

Mid-range brand

The prices of Esprit, Giordano, Hong Kong and the Mainland are exactly the same. Except for some special styles, you generally don't need to buy them.

However, there is a perennial discount store of Esprit in Tsim Sha Tsui, with a 20% discount. Compared with Shenzhen, it is so cheap, but the size is too small, suitable for petite girls to go shopping.

furs

It's a good deal to buy fur in Hong Kong. The price of high-grade furs here is only 50% of that of Britain and 75% of that of Japan. Moreover, due to the warm climate in Hong Kong, leather clothes will be sold at half price after the season, and the quality is particularly good, which is very suitable for purchase.

Cosmetics: perfume mask is cheap and good.

The quality of skin care products and cosmetics sold in Hong Kong is not only guaranteed, but also the price difference between Hong Kong and the mainland is very large because of tax exemption. For example, SK-II, Shenzhen 1 mask 120 yuan, Hong Kong only needs 80 yuan; The price of Lancome is only about 60% of that of Shenzhen; Clinique only accounts for about 65% to 70% of the price in Shenzhen (excluding eye cream, accounting for 80%). The most distinctive ones are "cosmetics supermarkets", such as Sasha, Rainbow and Zhuoyue. Many brands are directly imported from abroad, and their prices are cheaper than those of cosmetics counters attached to general department stores in Hong Kong, and there are also many discounts. From time to time, there will be special events of different brands, which really makes MM feel excited. But be careful that the clerk will sell you expired goods or some unpopular brands that even Hong Kong people can't afford, such as Switzerland.

perfume

The biggest price difference is GUCCIENVY, and the price difference of men's perfume is also big. There are more kinds of rainbow perfumes than SASA. The one in Causeway Bay, next to SASA and Ajisen Lamian Noodles, is easier to find.

other

BODYSHOP's natural beauty products, Shiseido and Kanebo's shampoo and shower gel series are more than twice as cheap as those in Shenzhen. BODYSHOP's foot scrub is especially recommended, and MM's feet should also be cared with foot cream that can't be bought in Shenzhen.

Jewelry: Gold and silver jewelry costs the most.

In Shenzhen, many couples buy their wedding diamond rings in Hong Kong. There are many gold jewellery shops in Hong Kong, among which Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, Des Voeux Road Central and Queen's Road Central are concentrated places. At present, gold jewellery shops in Hong Kong are divided into old and new schools. Xie Ruilin, Zhou Shengsheng, Chow Tai Fook, Luk Fook, Jingfu and other stores belong to the old school, selling 999,000 pure gold products and avant-garde gold ornaments with fine inlays. A new generation of gold jewelry stores, such as "the finishing touch" and "Gang Jin Gangzuan", focus on fashion and individuality, emphasizing creativity and style. Only by looking at shops like "eye-catching products" can I know that gold can be neither tacky nor fashionable.

It is important to note that the price of gold ornaments in Hong Kong is different from that in Shenzhen. It consists of two parts: gold price and manual fee. The more complicated and meticulous the work, the more expensive the labor cost. So don't just look at the gold price posted at the door!

When you first enter a jewelry store, you will feel that diamonds in Hong Kong are much more expensive than those in Crabbie, but in fact, the color and clarity of diamonds in Hong Kong are much better than those in the Mainland. You'd better go to Zhou Shengsheng, Chow Tai Fook, TSL and other old brands to buy jewelry, so you don't have to go to small jewelry stores.

Sports and leisure products: Don't miss "Garden Street"

If you are a sports fan, don't miss Garden Street in Mong Kok. It is called "Sports Street" here. Just two blocks from the junction of Garden Street and Argyle Street to Shandong Street, there are no fewer than 20 sporting goods stores, and almost all sporting goods and equipment can be found here. But the most is sports shoes. The price is not cheaper than Shenzhen, sports shoes are more expensive, but all kinds of accessories are complete and imported rock climbing accessories are cheaper. Also, once there is a discount, it is too tempting.

Electronic products: computer audio is very cost-effective.

Apart from the fashion and cosmetics that women care about, you can go to a small shop or a roadside stall in Sham Shui Po, Kowloon to buy cheap computers, especially used computers and mobile phones sold in Yaliao Street. Visitors can bargain as much as they want. The quality of Fengze Electric Appliance Company is guaranteed, but it is a little expensive. It is worth noting that the systems installed on computers in Hong Kong are all in English, and tourists generally need to reinstall their systems to type Chinese after returning to the Mainland. Digital cameras and accessories in Hong Kong are also much cheaper than those in the Mainland, and the sound is also very different. MD players are new in style. Many styles can't be seen in Shenzhen, but there are "parallel imports" and "licensed products". Among them, Sony's 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 like Okanagan Valley and Broadway are large-scale and reputable companies.

Watches: There are all kinds of world famous watches.

Regardless of gender, watches are also the focus of respondents' shopping in Hong Kong. According to reports, you can see many good watches in Hong Kong that can't be seen in the mainland, and the price is much cheaper than that in Shenzhen. For example, Cartier trinity, Mainland13,300 yuan, and Hong Kong 7 100 Hong Kong dollars. Another example is Omega, the price is about 70% of the domestic land price; As for TAG Heuer, the price gap is not small.

Watches especially recommend the big Shanghai watch shop in front of Times Square, which is small in scale, but has a good attitude and good reputation. There are also many watch shops in Mong Kok. Tsim Sha Tsui is 20% more expensive than other places.

In fashion watches, the price of Swatch is similar to that in the Mainland, but some accessories such as watchbands are not available in the Mainland. You might as well buy one or two straps for your own use. There are many more styles in seiko watch than in the mainland, so friends who like Japanese dramas can watch more.

Near the end of summer, around Christmas, the discount on clothing, shoes and hats in Hong Kong is the craziest, and shopping is very cost-effective.

Octopus is convenient to ride.

In Hong Kong, you need to have enough change to take various means of transportation, especially buses and trams. It is obviously very inconvenient to carry a lot of coins.

If you buy an Octopus card as soon as you arrive in Hong Kong, you will avoid such trouble. With it, you can not only take various means of transportation, but also spend money in some shops. The money in the card can be recharged when it is used up.

Kowloon Tong Station:

Kowloon Tong Station is the intersection of subway and train lines in Hong Kong. Visitors who want to transfer to the subway must pass through here, so our first stop is here.

The most expensive things and the cheapest things are so openly juxtaposed, probably only Hong Kong can do it.

Hong kong subway convenience manual

Subway is the most important means of transportation for Hong Kong residents and tourists. It has a total length of 82.2 kilometers, four seats and four stations, and carries 2.2 million passengers every day. MTR lines include Kwun Tong Line, Tsuen Wan Line, Hong Kong Island Line, Tung Chung Line and Airport Express Line, connecting Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, Tsuen Wan, Tseung Kwan O and Tung Chung. You can also change trains at Kowloon Tong Station, and the airport express line is set between the airport and the urban area.

At the same time, there is a light rail (LRT) running between the New Territories, Tuen Mun and Yuen Long, and buses are also connected to more remote places.

Tips for taking the subway

1. The most convenient way to take the subway is to buy an Octopus, and the whole journey is smooth. Moreover, the role of Octopus in Hong Kong is not just tickets. Many convenience stores can be used as "cards" to "swipe their cards", and convenience stores can also be recharged. However, the Hong Kong subway is more expensive, and it is better to reserve "ammunition" for a few stops for more than ten dollars.

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

Smoking is prohibited in public transport, markets and some public places in Hong Kong, so don't smoke in the subway.

Hong kong shopping trap exposure

After the implementation of free travel in Hong Kong, a large number of mainland tourists flocked to Hong Kong for sightseeing and shopping, which benefited Hong Kong's economy. However, a few unscrupulous businessmen aimed at the weaknesses of mainland tourists and deceived them by means of fraud, which seriously damaged Hong Kong's reputation. A mainland tourist was "slaughtered" twice in a row and vowed not to shop in Hong Kong for ten years.

On August 27th, a woman surnamed Quan went shopping alone and walked into a shop selling seafood on Nathan Road. She saw a handwritten price tag on seafood, in which 188 yuan was marked with a big cross, and the following was marked with a colored pen as "168 yuan, 10% off a catty". The whole lady said she wanted to buy it, and the clerk cut it before pricing, saying. At this time, the whole lady discovered that there was a word "two" in the inconspicuous corner of the price tag. Miss Quan had the idea of returning the goods, but the clerk refused on the grounds of "cutting and buying again" and called another man. In desperation, Ms. Zhong Quan had to hand over all her cash 1500 yuan and the remaining 250 yuan in her credit card to get away.

Afterwards, Ms. Quan learned that another friend, Ajie, had the same experience, and another shop in Nathan Road asked her to buy chopped Ulva at the price of 1.800 yuan. Because Ajie was tough, she claimed to call the police, but she didn't let the other side succeed. Ms. Quan also said that this was the second time that she had been cheated in Hong Kong for four days. On the evening of August 25th, she wanted to buy a selected camera with a price of 3,500 yuan. During the trial operation, the shopkeeper secretly dimmed the display screen, claiming that this camera could not shoot anything at night, and strongly recommended another camera with a price of 7,000 yuan. She said, "this is different, because it has infrared rays, so it is particularly bright." After the clerk insisted on recommending all the ladies to buy a camera, she realized that cameras can usually be dimmed when they are bought home. Ms. Quan said that the three experiences of being cheated by herself and her friends all happened in Nathan Road. She said that with the opening of individual tours and cheaper travel expenses, more tourists will come to Hong Kong, and they usually shop in Nathan Road. However, the "bullying" behavior of some unscrupulous merchants not only caused Nathan Road to lose business, but also damaged the overall image of Hong Kong. Ms. Quan said that her interest in shopping in Hong Kong was greatly hit, saying that "if I don't go to Hong Kong for ten years, I will never spend money in Hong Kong!"

In view of this situation, the industry calls for adhering to the business philosophy of "honesty-based" and maintaining the reputation of Hong Kong as a "shopping paradise", and at the same time requires relevant departments to strengthen inspection and law enforcement and severely crack down on illegal activities. As more and more mainland tourists come to Hong Kong for sightseeing and shopping, consumer protection agencies hope that shoppers will continue to mature and learn to protect their legitimate rights and interests. If necessary, calling 999 is one way.
