Many families

Near the end of the festival, many mainland guests went to Hong Kong.

Luohu pass two minutes

At 10 a.m. last Saturday, thousands of square meters of Luohu's entry and exit hall were filled with people, but still more orderly.

The reporter observed that most of the people leaving the country were young people, and many of them were still carrying carts.

Wu, a resident of Guangzhou, told reporters that he got up early in the morning and arrived at the east station at 7 o'clock. He wanted to take the Guangzhou Kowloon through train to Hongkong for shopping. But when he arrived at the east station, he was told that all tickets sold out before noon that day were sold out, and the last train ticket to Guangzhou in Hongkong was sold out, and only the last second classes could be bought.

Mr. Wu had to rush to buy a return ticket and hastened to buy a train ticket to Luohu.

The reporter looked at his watch at 10 in the morning.

But when I passed the Luohu pass, I looked at my watch. It took nearly two hours at 11:55.

Luxury stores are as hot as supermarkets.

Last Saturday at 1 p.m., reporters in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hongkong, were crowded with people. Many luxury brand stores such as LV, CHANEL, GUCCI and so on started the restriction measures, and there were long queues at the gate.

In these brand stores, reporters seem to enter the supermarket, very lively.

Although they are restricted to customers, each counter is crowded.

"The mainland people are not bad money. They don't seem to need money to buy things."

Miss Huang said that she bought a bag of nearly 30 thousand yuan in CHANEL, and took ten minutes to get the new product. The payment took nearly 15 minutes.

The clerk explained to her that too many people were too busy buying.

At four p.m. on Wednesday afternoon, reporters at SOGO in Tongluowan saw a surge of people in the shopping mall, and a dozen meters long queues were waiting for payment before the two floors of the cash register.

Many shopping malls in Hongkong have said that the number of shoppers visiting Hongkong in the past few years has increased year by year.

Liang Xianling, director of the round square, said that the passenger flow of the round square is expected to increase by more than 20% over the past year.

Sales peak is yet to come.

"Since February, the number of shopping malls has increased by 5~8% compared to last year, and shopping malls are on the same day as working days and Saturday days. At present, the average daily passenger traffic volume on Saturday and Sunday is around 170 thousand, and the average daily passenger flow on weekdays is 130 thousand."

Although the volume of passenger flow is so great, Ma Wei Le, the head of times square, told reporters that the peak of sales has not yet arrived in Hongkong.

"Two days to the end of Christmas, there will be a sales peak. The passenger flow in Times Square will increase by 10% over the same period."

New Town Plaza in Sha Tin also expects passenger traffic and sales to increase by 15% during the Christmas season compared with last year.

Mainland consumption

Many shopping malls are optimistic about sales performance this year.

Chen Dongdong, a personage in Harbour City, told reporters that sales performance of shopping malls has been booming this year. According to internal statistics, sales in the first ten months have broken through last year, and the sales in the last two months are expected to increase by two figures.

"The strong consumption of mainland customers is quite eye-catching," said a reporter from a number of shopping malls in Hongkong.

Times Square, Ma Le Le told reporters: "our shopping mall has three or four of the guests are mainland customers, jewelry, watches and clocks, leather bags, cosmetics, electronic products are the most goods bought by the mainland.

According to the merchants, eight or nine of the jewelry and clocks and watches were purchased by the mainland guests. "

"According to the statistics, the mainland customers account for half of the customers who visit the square, and the unit price is very high. The average price is 1.3 to 15 thousand yuan, while the average price per person in Hongkong is only six thousand or seven thousand yuan.

It is very common for mainland guests to spend millions of times, especially during this period.

Liang Xianling of the round square said.

Shortage: merchandise shortage and discount.

As we all know, Hongkong's commodity fashion has the advantages of price, selectivity and quality.

However, because of too many shopping people, the service quality of individual businesses is decreasing.

Although many brands, but many goods are seriously out of stock.

Last Saturday, Miss Chen did not buy anything she wanted to buy.

"My husband took a fancy to a pair of GUCCI casual shoes. I saw the earrings of CHANEL. I think that buying Hongkong can be much cheaper.

However, in the GUCCI store in Harbour City, although some shoes are as low as thirty percent off, there are not many styles. The new model we are looking for is also known to be out of stock.

Miss Chen also said, "when I asked the waiter for a picture album, the waiter pointed to the table in the distance and told me to put it on the table.

This has never happened in Guangzhou shopping malls! "

"Also, in D&G, it took 45 minutes to get into the store.

It is not that there are so many people queuing up in this brand store. It is clear that the guests in the shop are coming out one by one, but the shop assistants are not letting people in. The people queuing up at the time are very angry.

After entering, only then knew the entire audience half off, but looked at the goods, all did not have my code number, the shop assistant said that has broken the code seriously.

Many citizens also told reporters that although we all take it for granted that many brands in Hongkong have been discounted during this period, there are not many.

For many people who want to know the discount information in Hongkong, the reporter visited several shopping malls to understand that during the Christmas season, many first-line brands such as CHANEL, LV, Herm and s in Hongkong are not discounted all year round, and the mainland can only enjoy the preferential exchange rate difference.

GUCCI, FENDI, Miumiu, COACH and other brands are only about thirty percent off of the preferences of individual styles, but there is no discount for hot selling styles and new styles.

There is basically no discount for famous brand cosmetics, but only Christmas promotional offers.

There are not many discounts for ordinary brands, most of which are around thirty percent off.

"A few years ago, before Christmas, many brands were down to half off, but now they are not so low. Unless there are department stores to do activities, there is not much room for shopping."

A brand salesperson told reporters.
