Anyone tried? I see a lot of sellers with prices fairly significantly cheaper than online retailers. What's the risk of these being fake? I'm looking at whiskies in particular.

Hello Hong Kongers!

Recently I’ve travelled Asia and HK was one of the places I visited and this was one of my favorite places.

And as I planned for many months to move out of Russia (that’s where I live) I thought that HK would be one of the “chosen” cities.

I was thinking of few options and I need your help understanding how I can move without all illegal stuff and actually stay legally, pay taxes and enjoy the city and the country.

1. If I open a company, do I get a visa? And can I invite my family (wife)
2. Is there a long term residence visa for foreigners? If yes, what is the process?

• 3. Do HKers sign a year+ apartment rent agreement?

4. What are possibilities for a Russian citizen to move to HK without need of constant moving outs and ins of the country? (I’m familiar with such thing in Thailand)

Would appreciate all replies and suggestions!

You can hear birds but you can’t see them. There’s at least 120 of them

I want to order a watch from amazon and noticed not all offer free returns. If I receive damaged/wrong item, am I expected to pay for return shipping?

DM me for screenshot of the pick up code. Food panda bugged out and ordered pickup from a branch miles away.

It’s an order for 2 rice meals and veggies. Just show the pick up code and grab the food.

I (27F) have never travelled outside India. I want to plan an international trip with my family in February/March 2025. Here are some important details:

Travellers: Me (27F), Mom (61F), Dad (65M) and Sister (38F)

Food: Hard core non vegetarians (sister and I eat everything, dad eats chicken and may even eat pork, mom only eats fish, prawns and eggs)

Health: Mom has Parkinsons and she had a spine surgery a few months ago and although she is allowed to travel, she can’t walk or stand for longer duration. She doesn’t need a wheelchair, but now that I think of it, opting for a wheelchair in some locations maybe good

Income: We come from a middle class family and we haven’t really travelled much our whole lives

Interests: Sister and I love Cantonese, Japanese and Thai food and we love unique and off-beat locations

Total Budget (includes everything - travel, stay, airfare, food, etc.): 37,000 Hong Kong Dollars

Days: 5 nights, 6 days

Given all the above, we were thinking of going to Hong Kong and Macau. Sister and I could take a day to Disneyland while our parents chill. We want to try all the popular eateries and tourist places. Mom can’t walk so we will have to opt for cabs. Please help me with budget friendly options for stay, mode of transportation and eateries.

And if you have any suggestions for Hong Kong, please tell us.

Budget is around 60HKD per person? With like rice/noodles, 3 dishes?

We're looking at having a party for our beneficiaries of our NGO.

Home prices have fallen by over a quarter since late 2021. In September they reached their lowest level in eight years; the number of unsold homes had already hit a two-decade high. Commercial property is in trouble, too. Office vacancy rates are at a 25-year high. Rental prices have fallen by 40% from a peak in 2019, according to Savills, a property firm.

…there are signs that this crisis is structural, not cyclical. Hong Kong faces doubt over its future. Draconian national-security laws and a lack of clarity about the city’s role within, rather than alongside, China’s economy have harmed its image overseas. Some of Hong Kong’s pillar industries have been wobbly. Funds raised on its stockmarkets in the first nine months of this year were less than 30% of the amount raised in the same period of 2018. The workforce has shrunk by almost 200,000 in recent years, a big fall in a city of 7.5m. Hong Kong contends with one of the world’s lowest fertility rates, and by 2040 a third of its population will be aged 65 or older.

How widespread is a pin required for credit card payments over 1000?

Is it now mandatory or are locals still using signatures?

Just wondering how popular Wicked is in Hong Kong + China, I know that the musical had toured there, but has there been any buzz for the movie?

I'm a big sausages guy without the budget or time to shop around the fancy parts of town to find decent sausages to throw in my freezer. I don't like IKEA hot dogs, they smell bit off. Any other ones I've tried either taste/feel like chewed paper or stink even more. MX sausages are obviously low quality.

I know this could be too much to ask in SE Asia but I hope I can find proper, Central-Eastern Europe grade plain but tasty sausages in HK. Humbly requesting your aid in this pursuit :) Please include HKTV mall or any other kind of link if your favorite is sold online. Thanks!

I am currently in HK and need to get a china business visa asap (I have an invitation letter). I have a US passport, where should I go in HK to get this done as a foreigner? Anything else I need to be ready/aware of?

I know this is a relatively unknown topic, but has there really been nothing done to honor him?

I see them everyday at Causeway Bay on Kingston Street sleeping on cardboard boxes, with little stools, they must have been there overnight too. What are they queuing for?

I have about 10-12 hours (before night time) in Hong Kong. What are the must sees? Where should I stay (in terms of hotel). TYIA!

Is it worth switching from a Filipino passport to a HK one ? It may sound like an obvious yes from a travellers’ perspective but I’d like to know the other pros and cons.

Side note: my family may be moving to either the US or Japan in the far future- would my passport matter?

I’m solo traveling to HK in March and wanted to know if anyone here is going? (And if I can tag along…?)

For reference I’m a 28 year old new yorker and I like to drink beer and party

Hello - does anyone know any wine forwarding service from US to HK (via allocation orders)? I was going to try buy and ship but it looks like wine is prohibited. TIA!

Is it advisable to file complaints on the labour department? Hows the percentage of winning on a complaint?

I wanted to know if becoming a public prosecutor in Hong Kong is a hard job to obtain? and what’s the average salary for one?

and if I wanted to become a criminal law (homicide, murder etc…) prosecutor, what sub-division should I apply to?

I can’t seem to find much information online…

This might be niche but I'm hoping someone can help out with the right information.

I need to arrange for a blood test, full blood count and some other areas while I'm in Hong Kong.

It's for a family member whose Oncologist wants to keep an eye on whilst we are over here.

The report will need to be in English.

How would I go about facilitating this? Do I need to make a private GP appointment and ask him to refer for the blood work?

I arrive later today and was wondering was there a decent bar that plays hip hop on Sunday nights. Thanks.

Hello Hong Kongers

As a guy who lives in Tuen Mun, I searched Undertale for 3 hours in Tuen Mun (except Tuen Mun Ferry Pier), I cannot find a shop selling Undertale merch.

If you know there are shops selling merch in Hong Kong (especially nearby Tuen Mun), can you please leave a comment and tell me the location of the shop?

Thanks!
