There are a number of distinctive aspects of Hong Kong that Chan (2012) highlighted in "Make HK a World Emporium", which have mediated and shaped influences towards Hong Kong over the of the years. According to Chan (2012) Hong Kong is “a market well known to mainland consumers”. Extravagant, luxury stores like Gucci, Chanel and Louis Vuitton are often surrounded and overcrowded with mainland Chinese customers. One of the encounters I experienced during my visit to Kowloon was Harbor City (海港城) located in Tsim Sha Tsui; where many mainland Chinese customers were easily distinguished from Hong Kong locals, as they brought their large empty bags to the grocery store, eager to grab a bargain. The most surprising thing is that some luxury stores have also started to limit the number of people at the entrance, crowded controlled by velvet ropes installed on the sidewalk. Other Western companies such as Tiffany and Starbucks have taken advantage of the overcrowded population in Hong Kong by taking part in the rapid development and growth of the markets. Commercial activity. According to Barboza et al.

For example, this was evident in places near the Western Market (西港城), located on Des Voeux Road Central, or more recognized as the Sheung Wan complex. Where there are many skywalks connected to shopping malls, which provide many goods and services to consumers.

These changes can be understood through the influence of the globalization of cultural products exported and imported around the world. Furthermore, the hybridization of Western ideas imbued with Chinese culture. Furthermore, in the years to come there will be an increase in mainland Chinese visiting Hong Kong, in one case we see them migrating to Hong Kong to enjoy and live the Hong Kong dream because the location and culture have made it more convenient. On the other hand, we see mainland China building Hong Kong's economy by making it one of the centers for exporting cultural goods and doing business. However, we also see that in the coming future, many mainland Chinese will visit Hong Kong in search of family members who had previously migrated to the island during the 1900..
