Cosmetics

1. There are many cosmetics brands, the products at the counters are all complete, and the service attitude is good. You can get 15 to 95% off, and there are many small samples, sets, and gifts< /p>

2. The famous SASA is the place that almost all female compatriots will lose when they come to Hong Kong, because it has become synonymous with low-priced brand-name cosmetics. Be careful not to buy off-price products, and don’t buy too much just because it’s cheap.

3. When buying any product from SASA, you have to check the date. You may buy products that are about to expire. These are products that were not sold at the counter and returned to the wholesaler, who then resold them to SASA.

4. The SASA in Hong Kong is really three steps, one post, five steps and one outpost, and each one is slightly different. Be sure to choose a SASA with a large facade and beautiful decoration. The service there is good and the products are fresh and dated. It’s also very generous to send samples. But some things are not as cheap as Bonjour. I quite like Bonjour.

5. Bonjour and Sasa are very similar in nature. They both get their goods directly from abroad and may be a little cheaper than Sasa.

6. You can also choose Longcheng Pharmacy to buy. The environment is better than SASA because there are fewer people. Its main problem is that the genuine products are not complete, and each brand does not have many types of goods. However, Dragon City has a lot of samples of big brands, and they are extremely cheap.

7. For cosmetics chain stores like Sasa and Bonjour, you should pay attention to the location of the stores. Stores in bustling areas will be more expensive and difficult to bargain. The areas in Langham Place, Mongkok, Central and Causeway Bay are definitely more expensive. The ones along Tsim Sha Tsui and Nathan Road are okay, but it seems to be cheaper if you go to Sha Tin New Town or Sheung Wan to Pok Fu Lam.

8. The discounts in Causeway Bay are generally more severe than elsewhere. It is recommended that inexperienced sisters buy at Sogo and Times Square.

9. Personal suggestion: buy skin care products and makeup at the counter, don’t worry, buy Cairu and perfume at SASA, they are so cheap that you will smile.

10. Don’t think that buying cosmetics in Hong Kong is guaranteed to buy genuine products. In the end, you should have the final say on what kind of skin care products are suitable for you. Don’t listen to the “sweet words” of shopping guides

Watches

1. In Hong Kong, you can see many good watches that are not available in the Mainland. The prices are much cheaper than those in the Mainland, and the price is about 70% of the price in the Mainland. 2. For high-end watches, it is recommended to go to Emperor, which is much cheaper than in China.

3. For mid-range watches, it is recommended to go to the Time Gallery in Times Square. There are very good and new styles, which are suitable for dressing up.

4. If we talk about the areas with the largest variety of watches, they are Causeway Bay and Tsim Sha Tsui. In these two areas, customers can buy everything from the highest to mid-range to the cheapest watches.

5. No matter what brand, the discounts of agency stores must be better than those of specialty stores. But remember, it must be a regular agency. For example: King Fook, Luk Fook, Chow Tai Fook, Chow Sang Sang (don’t think they only sell jewelry, they are also qualified as Rolex regular agents), European Square, Su Li, Jiaxin, Emperor, Prince, Dongfang, Xiyunjia, Yuyi, Guanya,

HourGlass, Gordon, etc. can be purchased with confidence.

Please avoid other stores with bright signs, dazzling lights, and cluttered merchandise, no matter how low the discounts are.

6. Bringing a watch box to customs will be subject to additional taxes. After buying the watch, you can ask. Generally, they can provide a free service of sending the watch box back to the country, but the watch and Please carry your warranty card with you and keep it in a safe place.

7. If you want to buy Rolex, please check the Rolex official website in advance. From there you can find all the dealers and addresses and telephone numbers in Hong Kong.

8. When it comes to watch straps, in addition to changing the length on the spot or punching a few more holes, if you feel sorry for the original leather watch strap and are unwilling to cut it short easily, one trick is: try asking the store for one. The two "auxiliary watch straps" that look pleasing to the eye can be cut short and put on, and the original watch straps can be stored intact.

9. Carry your watch with you when passing customs. Do not take the invoice or receipt with you, even if you leave it with other people passing through!

Jewelry

< p>1. It is very cost-effective to buy diamonds in Hong Kong, and the designs are more fashionable and trendy than those in the mainland.

2. Everything can be done in the mainland, but gold has to be bought in Hong Kong. Why do you say this? First of all, let’s not talk about quality, let’s talk about style. The styles in Hong Kong are much more fashionable than those in the mainland

3. 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.

4. It is recommended to go to "Kim Hong Street", a pedestrian road on both sides of Nathan Road in Kowloon. There are dozens of jewelry and silver shops and famous watch shops, such as Chow Tai Fook, Chow Sang Sang, King Fook, Luk Fook, Jin Jin Store, ctf2, finishing touches, etc.

5. Today’s gold jewelry stores in Hong Kong can be divided into old and new schools. Stores such as Tse Sui-lun, 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.

6. The new generation of gold jewelry stores such as "Diamond" and "JUSTGOLDJUST

DIAMOND" emphasize fashion and individuality, focusing on creativity and style. After visiting a store like "The Eyepiece", you realize that gold can be very fashionable without being tacky at all.

7. Chow Sang Sang is well-known for its diamond styles and quality. When buying gold rings and diamond rings, I recommend Chow Sang Sang. If it is gemstones, choose Tse Ruilin.

8. It is important to remind you that the price of gold jewelry in Hong Kong is different from that in the Mainland. 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!

Leather bags and shoes

1. Want to buy big-name luxury goods but have no money? Maybe you can consider buying at Hong Kong Milan Station The price of second-hand bags is one-fifth of the original price, or even lower. There will also be second-hand goods from celebrities.

2. Huayuan Street, also called Sneaker Street. There are shops selling sports shoes and sporting goods on both sides, which collect the latest sports sneakers from various brands. In addition to major brands, they also sell trendy brand cloth shoes and sandals for young people in Hong Kong. New sneakers are often priced at a discount, making them a great deal.

3. Ladies Market is also called Tung Choi Street. There are more than 500 small pushers almost every afternoon. If you can find the "ball record", you can buy the popular ones in Hong Kong. Vietnamese ethnic embroidered shoes and beaded embroidered shoes only cost a few dozen Hong Kong dollars. It is said that even Kelly Chen owns a pair of these shoes.

Clothes

1. The Admiralty Gallery, Pacific Center, and Landmark in Central sell top-notch items that are not affordable for ordinary people like us, but you can go there to open your eyes. .

2. The 200-meter-long shopping avenue on Nathan Road is an essential shopping area that many women linger over. There are many mid-priced brands, and ordinary office workers can shop there

< p>3. If you don’t like to “match clothes” with others, go to Baileys Shopping Center or Kimberley Road in Tsim Sha Tsui.

4. Lishi Shopping Center is another treasure place to find avant-garde clothing. If you like stylish and fashionable design concepts, you might as well come here to find creative matching styles.

5. When buying clothes, everyone should pay attention. They are measured in inches. It is best to try them on yourself.

Electrical appliances, books, audio and video products, household items, specialties

1. Mobile phones and laptops in Hong Kong are much cheaper than in the mainland. Many models are not launched in the mainland. Hong Kong It is also the best place to buy world-famous electrical appliances and photographic equipment

2. If you want to buy licensed products, it is easiest to go directly to Broadway and Fengze Electric Appliances. They are all licensed products and do not sell parallel imports.

3. If you want to buy the latest and cheapest genuine digital camera, you must go to the pedestrian area of ??Sai Yeung Choi Street South in Mong Kok, because there are many electrical and video companies there and nearby, and all kinds of licensed and parallel products are available. , plus the price is cheaper than other places, Hong Kong people are also frequent visitors here. Things to note when shopping

1. Shopping is mainly concentrated on Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. Hong Kong Island is Hong Kong Island, also called Hong Kong, although it is only a part of the entire Hong Kong. Kowloon is mainly divided into Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok, Zuo Ton, and Yau Ma Tei.

2. If you are in Hong Kong for a short time, it is recommended to go shopping in Causeway Bay for one day, and then go to Harbor City in Tsim Sha Tsui or Festival Walk in Kowloon Tong for the next day. You can go to either of them, they are of the same type. Large

Shoppingmall, 1 but both of them close relatively early, probably around 9 o'clock. If you go to Kowloon Tong, you need to bring more Hong Kong dollars as exchange is inconvenient.

3. When it comes to money exchange, there are many money exchange shops in Causeway Bay. Don’t be fooled. There are thousand-dollar notes and five-hundred-dollar notes for Hong Kong dollars. Don’t exchange money at the airport, it’s very shady.

4. When it comes to banknotes, everyone must keep their passports and wallets separately. Losing money is a trivial matter, losing your passport means you can't get it back. The pass is a pass, and you also need to bring your passport or ID card, which is useful. But HK is very safe.

5. Wear light and breathable shoes. If you are crazy about shopping, wear a pair of bad shoes when you go, buy new ones and wear them straight away, and throw away the old ones to reduce the weight of your luggage. Likewise, don’t wear jewelry. Just put it on after you buy it, so it won’t be lost easily.

6. Festival Walk in Kowloon Tong is worth a visit and has everything.

7. Causeway Bay is more lively and the prices are more suitable for mass consumption, such as Times Square, SOGO Sogo Department Store, Lee Gardens, similar to Shanghai Xujia

8. The last shopping place 1. In addition to the many duty-free shops and complete brands at Hong Kong Airport, the prices of luxury goods here are really beautiful. The key point is that the quality is guaranteed! But be sure to leave 30 minutes from customs to the boarding gate. Be sure to remember it. Food and Beverage

1. Hong Kong is known as a food paradise. When you go to Hong Kong, you must try its authentic food.

2. Hong Kong mostly offers Cantonese cuisine, as well as some Japanese restaurants, Korean restaurants, etc., which are much more authentic than those in the mainland and are very cost-effective. Hong Kong people generally have a bland taste.

3. When choosing a restaurant, look for shops that locals will go to. If you have time, please go to the bookstore and look for the works of the famous gourmet Chua Lam. It introduces some unique restaurants that locals will go to eat at and the prices are affordable.

4. Hong Kong-style desserts are also very popular in the mainland, so you must come to Hong Kong to eat authentic ones. Personally, I think the more delicious ones are mango pandan, poplar nectar, pudding, etc.

5. Jiuji Beef Brisket is the most famous beef brisket restaurant in Hong Kong. It is the first beef brisket in clear soup and is famous throughout Hong Kong. The beef brisket noodles and curry beef brisket are also very delicious. It is located at 21 Gough Street, Central, Exit A2 of Sheung Wan MTR Station

6. If you have not tried Lan Fong Yuen in Hong Kong, you have not eaten Hong Kong’s tea restaurant. This is known as Hong Kong’s first tea restaurant. A delicious tea restaurant. Milk tea is a must-try

7. Although Jiu Kee Beef Brisket is located in the center of Hong Kong, diners still prefer Wah Sister Clear Soup Brisket at Tin Hau Electric Road.

8. YeeShunMilkCompany is headquartered in Macau and has several stores in Hong Kong. It specializes in dairy-based desserts, the most famous of which are its milkshakes.

9. It is said that Hong Kong’s Che Tsai Noodles are the most delicious, so why not go to Ji Chi. 10. The affordable Michelin-starred restaurant "Tim Ho Wan", just take the menu and order the signature dishes without looking at them: "Crispy BBQ Pork Buns, Crystal Shrimp, Traditional Sticky Rice Chicken, Smooth Mala Cake, Shrimp Roast" Wheat King

11. I am willing to wait for half an hour to eat the famous Kunji Claypot Rice.

12. How famous is Tsui Wah Restaurant? Search for Hong Kong food. Maybe it’s the first thing that pops up.

13. Hong Kong’s shrimp wonton noodles are just like Shanghai’s xiaolongbao, a must-try gourmet masterpiece.

Recommend Chi Kee Wonton in Causeway Bay

14. In terms of eating, there are also: Tai Cheong Bakery, Lin Heung House, Zaixing Roast Meat Restaurant, Macau Tea Restaurant’s pork chop buns, and Tan Dao’s egg tarts. Fu Kee's Porridge, Lee Kee Kee North Point Egg Waffles, Keung Kee Food Stalls, Tong Kee Rice Rolls, and Kung

Watang.

15. In Hong Kong, when eating with others, it is best not to use your own chopsticks to pick up food. It is polite to use your partner's chopsticks to pick up food.

16. Eating and drinking are strictly prohibited in many places, such as carriages, so don’t be too greedy. 17. Try to avoid the meal rush hour. I would like to remind everyone that Hong Kong people are a little later than us. They have morning tea from 9:00 to 11:00, lunch is not too late until 2 o'clock, and dinner is best at 7 or 8 o'clock. Otherwise, it will be a bit awkward to go to the restaurant. Er'er. Hotel Accommodation

1. Hong Kong is an international metropolis after all. There are big hotels everywhere, and of course there are also many small guesthouse-like shops.

2. Hong Kong hotels are generally more expensive. Basic three-star hotels cost more than HK$400, four-star hotels cost more than HK$600, and so-called family hotels cost around HK$200. You can choose hotels of different price ranges according to your own financial resources

3. It is best to choose a hotel in a business district, close to the subway, which is convenient. Besides, transportation costs in HK are very expensive.

4. The most suitable areas for accommodation are Tsim Sha Tsui, Causeway Bay, Wan Chai Hong Kong MTR Mong Kok Station, Yau Ma Tei and Jordan, North Point, and Tin Hau. 5. Tsim Sha Tsui is the area with the highest occupancy rate because transportation, shopping and food are all available here. Living in Causeway Bay, there are rich food and nightlife. If you are looking for affordable accommodation, Mong Kok is the best choice.

6. Most hotel rooms in HK are so small that it’s hard to imagine, so be mentally prepared.

7. Most of the hotels in Hong Kong and Macao are American-style hotels. There are no personal hygiene products such as toothpaste and toothbrushes in the store, so please bring them by yourself.

8. Of course, there must be international youth hostels, which are generally open to members and students, but I don’t know much about them.
