What should I buy for a trip to Shenzhen and Hong Kong?

Clothing & shoes: the most attractive when they are on sale. According to a survey, designer fashion is the first choice for Shenzhen gallery people to go shopping in Hong Kong. Brands such as GUCCI and Armani are usually not discounted in Shenzhen (galleries), and the price may not be obvious, 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. The prices of mid-range brands Esprit and Giordano are exactly the same in Hong Kong and the Mainland. Except for some special styles, there is generally no 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. Fur 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. Skin care products and cosmetics sold in Hong Kong are not only guaranteed in quality, but also very different from those sold in the Mainland because they are tax-free. 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. GUCCIENVY is the biggest difference in perfume prices, and men's perfumes are also different. 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 natural beauty makeup products, Shiseido and Kanebo shampoo and shower gel series are more than twice cheaper than Shenzhen. BODYSHOP's foot scrub is especially recommended, and MM's feet should also be cared with foot cream that cannot be bought in Shenzhen. Jewelry: Gold and silver jewelry costs the most in Shenzhen, and many couples buy 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. From the junction of Garden Street and Argyle Street to Shandong Tuku Street, there are no less than 20 sporting goods stores in just two blocks, almost all 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. Besides the fashion and cosmetics that women care about, you can also go to a small shop or a roadside stall in Mutu, Sham Shui Po, Kowloon, especially the used computers and mobile phones sold in Yaliao Street. Tourists can buy cheap goods. 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.

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. Player's recommendation: Mrs. Wang: I usually go to Hong Kong twice a year, once in late summer and once around Christmas, mainly because these two times are the craziest times for discounts on clothes and shoes in Hong Kong, and shopping is very cost-effective. I usually spend the night in Hong Kong. Besides clothes and shoes, I sometimes go to R Us to buy toys for my son and brand-name watches for my husband. Come back before closing at night. Octopus is convenient to ride in Hong Kong. You need enough change to take all kinds 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.
