Daily necessities in Hong Kong are generally about twice as expensive as those in the Mainland, and food is also very expensive. Take canned coke as an example. Generally, the coke produced in Hong Kong is around 5 yuan, while the coke produced in China is as much as that produced in 2 yuan. It is quite common for two or three people to eat more than 200 yuan in restaurants. The transportation fee is also quite expensive, and the cross-sea buses are all above 10. Take a taxi for two kilometers 15 yuan.

But some things, such as electronic products, cosmetics and famous brands, will be cheaper in Hong Kong.
