Shenzhen shopping mall has snow
Thousands of large shopping malls in Hong Kong have flowed in the past three days, intimidating the public and even smashing the shops to destroy Hong Kong people ’s desire to stay in Hong Kong. On the contrary, Shenzhen provides a space to enjoy holidays and become a “refuge”, especially in the Nanshan District where Shenzhen Bay is located. There are several newly completed large shopping malls with Christmas cottages and markets, and artificial snow and lights. Shows, etc., have attracted many Hong Kong youths to “check in” and spend.
Ivy, a 30-year-old freelancer, lives in Hung Shui Kiu, Yuen Long. She said that she originally planned to stay in Hong Kong for Christmas holidays, but she saw from the live TV that the thugs were ruined, and she was not in the mood. Please be happy! Wouldn’t I want to meet thugs and get rid of them? ”
On Christmas Day, Ivy and several friends improvised through the Shenzhen Bay Port to spend a day in the coastal city of Nanshan District, Shenzhen, and returned to Hong Kong at night. According to her visual inspection, the flow of people passing through the customs was 10% to 20% more than usual, and the time spent was longer than usual. When I went to Coastal City, “I felt like a Mong Kok and hit Hong Kong people.”
“Everyone who eats in Hong Kong is frightened by thugs”
Ivy said that eating beef hotpot that night took several hours to wait for a seat. Although the overall consumption experience was worse than usual, she and her friends would rather go north to spend, “(Mainland) consumption is flat, of course, it is the reason, but the most important thing is safety The family feels that Hong Kong consumption is very safe. ”
On the night of Christmas Eve, Mr. Gang Cheng went north on a “flash” night, exited the Luohu Port to Shenzhen Jinguanghua Shopping Center, met with seven or eight friends for dinner, sang K to drink and celebrate Christmas, and stayed at the hotel one night before returning to Hong Kong. The average expenditure per person for two days and one night was nearly 1,000 yuan. He felt that the happiest thing was not to be scared. “Eat a meal in Hong Kong, all thugs come to their door to disrupt it!”
