Quick question for the Hong Kong & Macau regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there last year and had a great time but I've heard prices have gone up.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.
