When will you go to the mainland?

I am not really in the mood to do a google search for you

I met HK locals who lived their whole life in HK and never entered Mainland.

I find that hard to believe. Do they hate the mainland that much? They are also a dying breed since very soon, every secondary school student in Hong Kong will be required to take a mandatory study tour to the mainland.

I don't think the ones I met hate mainland, fear it probably. Also delusional about the actual state of the country and its people, believing what Apple daily or similar have been feeding them.

Overthinking it.. There's apparently the K-Farm hydroponics urban farm (1st ever) at the Kennedy Town harbourfront that I've been meaning to go check out just for the sake of it. It's been a few yrs and I still haven't - 3 min walk away. I would be surprised if one day I get asked why I hate the K-Farm so much..

It's small but cool

Why? This vote showed 50% of the residents here see no need to go to the Mainland. This sample doesn't include those that cant afford to go.

Jumping to the conclusion it is due to hared probably says a lot more about you than them. But the answer is no. Many people see the Mainland as an inferior version of Hong Kong with high wealth disparity, worse universal health, worse education, worse hygiene regulations compliance, higher taxes and insurance but a little cheaper for some entrainment activities. HK is a long way from any locations really worth visiting in China.

It's a pity every mainland secondary school student didn't get the chance to visit Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Australia or Singapore. That would be better for the country.

“ Why? This vote showed 50% of the residents here see no need to go to the Mainland.”

What residents are you talking about ?
The residents of HK ?
The residents on geoexpat ?
Of which at least 2% don’t even live anymore in HK but are just lurking around because they have nothing better to do with their life.

This sample is completely meaningless

And those 2% would not even be able to get a visa at the moment.
Which is great, it makes China a better place.

Yes, this poll. Certainly not accurate but very indicative. I have already pointed out the poll is flawed as it wouldn't include people too poor to go. But again it is indicative which should have taken away the surprise one poster had that people don't want to visit the mainland.
