The highlight of every summer in Hong Kong, the “Hong Kong Summer Spectacular,” kicked off last Friday and will run until August 31. In addition to citywide crazy discounts with deals as low as 70% off or more, there are also a variety of exciting activities taking place, including the Victoria Harbour fireworks show celebrating the 15th anniversary of the Handover on July 1. This year also features a special campaign to select the Hong Kong Shopping King. The selected Taiwanese shopping king will not only compete in the shopping challenge in Hong Kong for free but can also bring all purchased items home!

The “2012 Visa Go Hong Kong Shopping King” competition kicks off on June 25. By participating in the “Hong Kong Summer Cinema” online event (HongKongSummer.com/tw), uploading a summer-style photo and sharing it on your personal Facebook page, you could be selected as Taiwan’s representative. You’ll team up with Hua Hua, the host of the Haha News program, for a 5-day, 4-night ultimate finals trip to Hong Kong. Compete with representatives from Mainland China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, and Thailand for the title of Hong Kong Shopping King. This year, participants will not only need to complete designated shopping missions but also compete in showcasing the best ways to enjoy Hong Kong and design unique itineraries. Not only are round-trip flights and accommodation completely free, but all items purchased during the competition can be brought home. The winning team can even receive up to HK$200,000 (approximately NT$780,000) in Visa credit!
