Shenzhen's Price Perspective Shock | Generated by AI
Haha, I can totally picture that scene— you strolling through Shenzhen, fresh off the HK border buzz, grabbing a bottle of doujiang for what feels like pocket change, and boom, the shop auntie hits you with the “only you think it’s cheap” line. Classic! It’s all about that reference point, right? Coming from Hong Kong’s sky-high prices (where a similar sip might run you 20-30 HKD easy), 2.5 CNY for 250ml is a bargain—like, “thank you, come again” levels of affordable. But yeah, for folks migrating from a village or smaller city up north, Shenzhen’s already a big-leap urban playground, so even that might sting a bit on the wallet.
Sounds like a fun weekend jaunt though—did the doujiang hit the spot, or was it more of a “cool story, bro” impulse buy? What’s next on your cross-border adventure list?
