Tourists wearing Hong Kong school uniforms cause controversy!
The mainland girl said in the post that she was wearing a Hong Kong secondary school uniform that looked too much like a secondary school student, so when she entered the HKU campus, no one checked the appointment documents with them, and she could enter the campus directly from Exit A of the HKU station.

They also took photos on campus, bought magnetic power banks in souvenir shops, and praised the green environment of the campus, calling it "oxygen bar".
Unexpectedly, the attention of netizens fell unanimously on the school uniform she was wearing.
Sharp-eyed netizens recognized that they were wearing a school uniform with their own school emblem, and left a message, "Can I not wear our school uniform?" This is for the students of our school, not for tourists to buy on Taobao to check in. ”
Netizens have said that these school uniforms have obvious school logos and are likely to be recognized by locals. There is also a fear that such behaviour will damage the reputation of the school and may lead to misunderstandings and complaints.
However, for some mainland tourists who are not aware of these regulations, there are some doubts: "Why does it affect the reputation of the school?" ”
As public opinion became more and more noisy, the mainland girl listed four reasons to explain her behavior.
The mainland girl also said that she didn't know that this was a real middle school uniform, but she bought it at random on "a certain treasure".
Indeed, now a casual search on "a certain treasure" can see Hong Kong school uniforms for sale:
There are also netizens who directly call on everyone to go to Hong Kong's school uniform retail stores to buy genuine school uniforms with school seals, which is really a strange trick!
However, this trend of wearing Hong Kong school uniforms is not new today. Earlier, in response to this topic, Hong Kong officials also came out to respond!
Hong Kong school uniforms can't be worn casually!
Entries such as "mainland girls wearing Hong Kong school uniforms for photos" have continued to dominate major social platforms since 2023.

The Hong Kong school uniform trend caused controversy at the time, and the Hong Kong Education Bureau also made a direct response: you can't wear Hong Kong school uniforms at will!
According to the Hong Kong Education Bureau, school uniforms represent the school and students who are not from the school should not wear the school uniform, which misleads their identity.

It is not difficult to see that the "school uniform culture" is quite important in Hong Kong, because Hong Kong school rules are "from head to toe"!
The school uniform has the school emblem on it, which means that only students from their school are eligible to wear it. Most importantly, students need to follow the rules when wearing their uniforms.

For example, when wearing a school uniform outside of school, you are not allowed to eat or drink on the street, and you are not allowed to make loud noises in public!
Especially in Hong Kong, a city full of "complaint culture", as long as you recognize the school uniform, you can accurately locate the target of the complaint. After all, in Hong Kong, the red belt is most likely the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, and everyone will still recognize the girls' schools with blue cheftannies.
Many netizens used their personal experience to popularize some "you haven't heard" regulations of Hong Kong schools for everyone:
Eating stinky tofu on the road in a school uniform was recorded as a minor demerits......
It's not okay to eat ice cream on the road in a school uniform.
This...... Anyone who saw it was shocked.
Therefore, there must be a reason for everything, which is the experience summed up after experiencing all kinds of complaints and criticisms, and we must be extra "cautious in words and deeds". For tourists, it may be a whim, but for schools and students, school uniforms mean "sacrosanct".
Therefore, although Hong Kong's school uniforms are very beautiful, it is still recommended that everyone should not wear school uniforms indiscriminately, so as not to disturb innocent students.
Finally, what do you think about the fact that mainland tourists are enthusiastic about wearing Hong Kong school uniforms to check in? Feel free to leave a comment.
