It has been striving to promote "Hong Kong's integration into the Greater Bay Area"
I really didn't expect that the prelude to the integration of China and Hong Kong started from major supermarkets!
"Sam wants to come and the wind is full of buildings".
When it comes to holidays, the Hong Kong people in Shenzhen Sam's are always as high as 90%, and Hong Kong people are "voting with their feet" to support the co-urbanization of Hong Kong and Shenzhen.
There's no way, the temptation is too great, it's really "convenient, beautiful, and positive".
"89 yuan 148 laundry beads, Hong Kong buy not to Ping... 39.8 yuan 3 catties of heavy roast chicken brought back to the house to cook, Hong Kong is a hundred or two hundred mosquitoes, this is a little bit of Hong Kong people going north, just buy a chicken!"
Putting aside this euphoric consumption boom, Shenzhen provides Hong Kong people with a low-cost living and development space on the one hand, but on the other hand, it may lead Hong Kong's economy into a "sweet trap".
From the recent actions of the Hong Kong city road and the Hong Kong government, we can get a glimpse of many clues.
In the face of Shenzhen's all-round customer grabbing, Hong Kong's retail industry has been complaining for days, and the sales volume in the first three quarters has directly decreased by 59 billion compared with before the epidemic.
For example, 759 Ashinya, Japantown, and HKTVmall...

The three most popular catering brands of Hong Kong people are still short of summer vacation when it comes to dinner markets and weekend business.

No, on January 1 this year, the new District Council members officially took office. This is the first topic after taking office, and it is also quite interesting.
Don't talk about housing, don't talk about improving people's livelihood.
Rather, it is to discuss how to revitalize the regional economy of Hong Kong's 18 districts.
Respond to the Hong Kong government's "Colorful Day and Night" campaign.
Looking at the proposals of the District Councils in various districts, it is inseparable from setting up check-in landmarks or holding stall markets, hoping to attract citizens and tourists to check in, and then stimulate consumption.
After looking around, I laughed angrily, the district councils are really capable of hea..
Taking Wong Tai Sin District as an example, the District Council plans to construct an arch installation in the square opposite the Wong Tai Sin Temple and write the word "Wong Tai Sin" on the top of the arch.
And Tsuen Wan District is even more outrageous.
In line with the characteristics of the "City of Flyovers", a "mosaic photo board" will be installed along the pedestrian bridge system in the area.
Photographs of residents living in the area are lined with the words "I love Tsuen Wan" and "I ♥️ TSUEN WAN", and photo booths are scattered in different locations in the community.
Please, this kind of level of "dead bridge", elementary school students can also come up with it.
As for the two District Councils of Yau Tsim Mong and Kowloon City, when the neon signs on the streets have been removed, they proposed to build "light sign check-in spots" with neon signs as the theme.....
No matter what the theme of these "punch-in devices" is, whether they are beautiful or not, and whether they can achieve the effect of stimulating consumption and activities,
It's all a temporary addition.
Some of them don't even have anything to do with the region itself – for example, the establishment of a number of mainland cartoon characters "well-behaved babies" on the Tseung Kwan O waterfront
Do tourists really come here for this?
Can people in the region build a sense of belonging to the region?
In fact, as a first-class historical building, the Wong Tai Sin Temple has long been equipped with an archway, which already has rich historical and cultural value.
Why add an arch device to the snake?
In fact, it is not new to set up punch card devices in various districts.
Once upon a time, tourists came to Hong Kong to take pictures of the neon signs and hawker stalls on the streets, which are the most authentic and vibrant aspects of Hong Kong's urban life.

In recent years, more and more people have shifted their way of travel from the past to the pursuit of more authentic and unique experiences.
Compared with "instant fast food" or short-term activities, what everyone wants to "check in" more may be the uniqueness of each district.
Otherwise, if you go to the 18th district, it will be the same in every district.

Recently, the Hong Kong government has been trying to revitalize the economy by focusing on tourism.
But it's obvious that all the work done is to drink to quench your thirst.
Chief Executive Li Jiachao said to reporters on Tuesday (9th) that he is very concerned about the lack of capacity of Cathay Pacific and does not want flights to be canceled every day.

After announcing the "Hong Kong Night Fun", the "Day and Night Fun" activity was launched;
The AA's ticket distribution campaign gave away 19,000 free round-trip tickets via Hong Kong Express Airlines on Wednesday.
It is hoped that Hong Kong Airport will be "fully restored to normal".

Some analysts have pointed out that the Hong Kong government's vigorous promotion of tourism has actually done little to revive the economy.
Historically, tourism has not accounted for a high proportion of Hong Kong's GDP, even at a high level of 4% to 5% in 2018, let alone in Hong Kong today.
Therefore, at present, the Hong Kong government is pushing the greater purpose of tourism.
More like, to create a "normal" atmosphere.
The Hong Kong government's activities to attract customers for a while, as tourists, do you buy or not?
