Hong Kong has welcomed a 2,000-strong tour group from mainland China, the second largest since restriction-free travel returned in February, with an itinerary including entertainment from city pop star William So Wing-hong, a shopping spree and other attractions.

Members of the group told the Post it included people from “all over” the mainland who work for Yobesta, an e-commerce company established in 2020.
The visitors arrived in the city through the Heung Yuen Wai Control point in two groups of around 1,000 people on Tuesday morning.
Their first stop was a half-hour lunch stop with poon choi, a traditional Cantonese feast dish, in Sha Tau Kok.
“The service in Hong Kong is great, although I found the poon choi a little bland,” Xu Lan, from Hubei, said. “I am used to our cuisine, which is spicy – this was too sweet for my liking.”
