Above are the pictures from HK airport departure level at 915am. I was surprise that it was not busy. Also, our flight back to Shanghai today was 1/2 empty. Maybe too early, flight was at 10am. While I was walking down toward my gate, I noticed there were two competing shops fighting for business. Normally a small bottle of water would have cost HK$10-15. Now, special sale HK$8.00 and across the hall HK$6.50. Guess which one I went to? And I got a bigger bottle too. No more ripping off passengers! Price was more reasonable, more inline with a bottle of water from 7-11 in town.
While I was there the last day and a half, I didn't see as many Mainline Chinese shopping; but when they shopped, bags are from high-end brand names. Sales... But I believe the shopper number is getting down.
Today, the Chinese gov't has announced to allow more people from the non-Shenzen area to visit Hong Kong during the Xmas holiday. All were with the HK Disney Package. This US venture is NOT doing well. Didn't know who was the bright idea having such a small Disney here. Expensive, far and small. Been struggling ever since it opened.
