Trip to Hongkong2-traffic and shopping?
Posted in Activities, Chinese life, Travelling, Vanessa's Stuff on 03/12/2011 02:04 pm by VanessaLast post I talked a bit about language and food in Hongkong.
The traffic is another different issue from mainland China. To start with is the steering wheel is on the right and it’s just the opposite as mainland. The traffic is much better than most of the mainland cities, but more expensive compare to BJ no matter the taxi or the subway cost. For the transfer stations of the subway are more convenient than BJ as well, because the one you are going to change is just right next to the one you have just got off, but in BJ you have to walk miles of stairs to get the one you are going to change.
Some people say HK is the paradise of shopping! I think it still depends on 
what you are buying. One of the famous cosmetics shops is called Sasa. It’s right most of the brands products are much cheaper than the mainland. Electronics are a bit cheaper? but you have to find the correct places to buy. Clothingwise is the same, some sports brands are cheaper but not for all. Well I should say it’s the shopping paradise for the rich but not for me!

Hong Kong is known as a great shopping destination. However, there are more better places in Asia than HK. Of course, it boils down to marketing…as Hong Kong tourism authorities know how to sell their place.
