Shenzhen tourists: the domestic economy is so good, there is still a balance Shopping

At noon on the day after customs clearance, the flow of people on Canton Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, which is frequented by independent travelers, has obviously not returned to the pre-epidemic level.

There are only a few people queuing outside famous stores such as Dior or Chanel, most of them are Hong Kong people.

Some clerks said that the situation was unusual, and they believed that the number of customers in the past had not recovered after the switch.

Mr. Wang, a Shenzhen resident, said that he has not traveled to Hong Kong for three years, so he came to Hong Kong for shopping immediately after the switch.

As he only arrived yesterday, he plans to buy New Year's goods and clothes after the meal. It is estimated that the total cost will be 80,000 to 100,000 yuan.

"Now that the domestic economy is so good, there is still a surplus of shopping."

He revealed that he will stay in Hong Kong for the longest period of seven days, and may visit Disneyland and Ocean Park when he has time, and looks forward to visiting the newly opened Palace Museum in recent years.

He also believes that the flow of people in Tsim Sha Tsui has increased a lot compared to yesterday, and he hopes that the epidemic prevention policy can continue to be relaxed to promote the economy.

"To put it bluntly, the common people have to eat, so that the business is booming, which is the most important purpose."

Mainlanders who work in Hong Kong praise the convenience of customs clearance and go home

Mr. Wei, who has been working in Hong Kong for half a year, praised the resumption of customs clearance between the two places. Whether he will come to Hong Kong again will have to be reconsidered.

Yang Shufen, secretary-general of the Tourism Council, said that the number of mainland tourists in Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok was not as expected.

She explained that due to the sudden resumption of customs clearance and the approach of the Chinese New Year, mainlanders have planned trips to visit relatives or other events, and it is estimated that the number of mainland tourists will gradually recover next month.
