Large number of exciting deals, super discounts and redemptions always take the spotlight at HKBPE. “Hong Kong people love to shop. With its diversity of exhibitors, HKBPE is a must-attend event for those who are looking for the best out of shopping. On the first day of expo (10 December), rice cookers, abalone and ginseng packs, cordyceps, soup packs are all available at HK$1. There is also a crazy offer of “HK$10 per inch” LED HDTV.  Many exhibitors will also offer huge bargains as high as 90% off that are hard to resist,” said President Li.  To ensure a safe and happy shopping experience, CMA will set up a queue area at the entrance near Sugar Street.  Visitors can queue up for these crazy offers from 9 December night.
