Haha, your situation is similar to mine. I will also go to Hong Kong in a few months and bring gifts.
I saw some suggestions on the internet, such as cosmetics, skin care products and perfume. You can buy SASA or Zhuo Yue, but it doesn't seem to be available in mainland China, and it's not expensive. Foreign brands can consider CK, Lancome, Chanel and so on. It seems not as expensive as the mainland.
If you have toys, you can buy Disney's. You can also buy clothes, bags and the like. S better have a discount. Or buy some jewelry, like Chow Tai Fook in Hong Kong. There are also some tonics made in Hong Kong, such as Baoji Pills, but I believe the possibility that they are gifts is zero. Duty-free shops at the airport can also go in to pick up gifts. I can only give you these references. I'm just a porter on the Internet. Wish you success!
2. A small souvenir from Hong Kong.
Girls must buy clothes and shoes, jewelry and gold ornaments, all household items, skin care products and cosmetics, books, sanitary products, sports and leisure products, etc. When I went to Hong Kong.
1. There is a big discount store for clothes and shoes in Mong Kok, and there is also an IT outlet at the city gate. There are more, but uneven. Topshop opened a big store last year, and the price was relatively close to the people. There is also a shoe street in Mong Kok, where the discount is terrible. At least each pair of sneakers can be two or three hundred cheaper than the mainland, and some classic models are even discounted. After the discount, it's a pleasant shopping anyway.
2. Jewelry and gold ornaments. Jewelry and gold ornaments in Hong Kong are much cheaper than those in mainland China, especially when the price of gold is low. If you need it at home, you can hoard it appropriately. Christmas in 65438+February is also a discount season, especially Chow Tai Fook has better features, such as various angel pendants and kitty series, while Zhou Shengsheng is more formal and dignified.
3. Skin care products and cosmetics are still recommended to bring counter goods. Big names are definitely cheaper in Hong Kong than in mainland China. American products of Estee Lauder SK2 Lancome are more than 200 cheaper than domestic counters, especially during Christmas, many brands have Christmas suits. Products from Sasa and Zhuo Yue are equivalent to 20% off the counter price. According to the latest Sasha Christmas activities, the small brown bottle only costs HK$ 580, while Aven's large spray bottle costs HK$ 130 in China and HK$ 70-80 in Hong Kong. It's too cheap!
3. Christmas gifts in Hong Kong
Christmas is on February 25th every year, so Christmas Eve is on February 24th every year. Today, we will tell the origin and legend of Christmas Eve in detail. Come and have a look if you are interested!
When is Christmas Eve? Christmas Eve is Christmas Eve.
When is Christmas Eve? Christmas Eve is Christmas Eve.
Christmas Eve refers to the night of 65438+February 24th.
Christmas Eve refers to the night of February 24, 65438+, which is Christmas Eve. It is called Christmas Eve in English, and it is also used to mean the day before Christmas. Coincidentally, it is the same as the Dust Sweeping Festival in China (65438+February 24th, Lunar New Year). Households in most parts of the country should clean the dust, which is homophonic with Chen Dou.
4. A good gift from Hong Kong
Since the vast majority of Chinese residents in Hong Kong are Cantonese, most people in Hong Kong speak Cantonese, but their expressions are slightly different from those in the Mainland, mixed with a lot of Hong Kong slang. Due to historical reasons, the official language of Hong Kong has been English for many years. Most of the educated younger generation can answer in English, and it is also very popular to use Cantonese mixed with English. In recent years, Putonghua has been gradually popularized in Hong Kong, and the number of residents using Putonghua has been increasing. Following the return of Hong Kong to the motherland on July 1997, according to the relevant provisions of the Basic Law of the People's Republic of China (PRC) Special Administrative Region, the administrative organs, legislatures and judicial organs of the Region can continue to use English in addition to Chinese.
Hong Kong enjoys freedom of religious belief, and almost all major religions in the world believe in Hong Kong. Chinese in Hong Kong mainly believe in Buddhism and Taoism. Believing in God is the most common. Although they follow traditional religious beliefs and customs, they have no religious consciousness and concept. People generally worship their ancestors' land and door gods. Burn incense or light candles on the first and fifteenth days of T.
According to the Chinese Temples Ordinance, all temples in Hong Kong must be registered. According to statistics, there are more than 360 temples, 40 public temples and 24 Tianhou Temple in Hong Kong. As Hong Kong is near the sea, there are many people engaged in fishing and shipping, so in temples, Tianhou is the most worshipped. According to legend, Tianhoulin, a Fujian native, threw himself into the sea to save fishermen, and was later regarded as a patron saint by fishermen and sailors. It is said that there are 250,000 followers. Among the Tianhou Temple in Hong Kong, the one in front of Damiaowan Temple is the most famous.
Every year, March 23rd of the lunar calendar, the day after tomorrow's birthday, is one of the most solemn traditional festivals in Hong Kong. Other gods worshipped in the temple include Guanyin, Northern Emperor and Guandi. Many shops are also related to the emperor's blessing.
The customs of traditional festivals in China, such as Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Ninth Festival, are basically the same as those in Chinese mainland. In order to facilitate citizens to go home on holiday, the government has also promulgated legal holidays. In addition, such as book burning (Orchid Festival, the 14th day of the seventh lunar month), Tanabata (Qiao Qi), Guanyin's birthday, Master's birthday and Tianhou's birthday. Holding traditional sacrificial activities is very lively and is listed as a grand tourism project.
For breakfast, Hong Kong people often go to teahouses for tea, eat guangdong snacks or go to restaurants for western-style tea (milk tea, lemon tea, coffee and bread). At lunch, employees usually have a working meal, fast food or afternoon tea in the restaurant. Dinner is the main food, and Guangdong tradition eats more. Hong Kong people often pour tea for each other when having tea at parties. Banquets and the like are usually at nine o'clock in the evening, and the host is already waiting for the guests around four o'clock, setting up a mahjong table to entertain the guests. Those who don't play mahjong usually arrive around 7 pm. Seats are generally casual, but guests don't wait for the host to say chopsticks. When eating, don't lift your elbows or cross the table; Tang t flew across the river like an elephant, that is, he stretched out his chopsticks to get food from a distance; Can't look in the mirror, can't pour a plate; Don't make any noise when Tang eats soup, and don't leave food in the bowl after dinner. Don't put your hands on chopsticks when eating. Toast and invitation are impolite. When serving fish, the fish head should face the guests. When eating, don't turn the fish over.
Hong Kong people also have many taboos about the names of dishes. The humble names are changed to Geely's names. For example, pig liver is called trotters, because liver and stem are homophonic; Luffa is more delicious than melon, because silk is homophonic with words; The tongue is called Li because it is related to stones. Many dishes also have auspicious names, such as Wan Li (sauce duck tongue), the first anniversary celebration (pine nuts and yellow croaker), Happy Yonghong (Jinhua ham honey juice), and rich flowers (crab meat and broccoli).
Hong Kong people are also very particular about numbers and figures. 3 and 8 are the numbers they are most willing to pursue, and they think these two words are the most auspicious. Cantonese homonym 3 is Sheng, which means vitality, wealth and vigor. Cantonese homophonic 8 is dharma, which means wealth and prosperity. Some stores also like to use auspicious numbers as store names, such as 168 fashion shop and 338 hair salon. Homophonic 168 is all the way, but 338 is born and 238 is born.
Hong Kong is located at the junction of the blending and exchange of two civilizations, and it is an urban entity that skillfully and enthusiastically blends the eastern and western cultures. Even in the bustling downtown area, the folk customs of China's traditional culture are still preserved, such as giving gifts without bells (death), books (loss) and blankets (money). Bet on horses and play mahjong, and never borrow money to withdraw money. When doing business, the first transaction must be done, even if the price is reduced. What customers fear most is bargaining rather than buying.
There are also some specialty shops. If you go to Disney, you can buy a lot of things in Disney: most of them are clothes of various styles and sizes, which are very interesting and distinctive. Then there are all kinds of plush pendants, mobile phone chains, food and so on. Girls like to buy bags, exquisite Disney necklaces, jewels and giant dolls. As for jewelry, you can go to Xie Ruilin, Chow Tai Fook and Zhou Shengsheng. You can buy some gold ornaments for your mother. There are expensive ones and cheap ones. There are many excellent shops on the streets of Hong Kong, and the goods in each shop are different. The best thing is that every store has different discounted goods. Some colleagues can also buy mustard beans, sweets and the like from Youzhiliang. It's all big bags, and there are many small bags inside. You can send it separately. There are many varieties and they are delicious. Much more affordable than Shanghai! Finally, at the airport, there are brand-name bags, perfumes, cosmetics and so on. 30%-50% cheaper than mainland China.
