Those in crypto with the right conditions can still get a Hong Kong identity.



There are ten major differences between Hong Kong and mainland China, specifically as follows:

1. In Hong Kong, regardless of gender, anyone aged 16 or older can marry. After marriage, property is independent with no concept of joint marital property, and divorce requires no property division.

2. School district housing is not important in Hong Kong; residential address is more critical. Renting is acceptable, and schools admit students based on proximity, providing 15 years of free education and various subsidies.

3. Dining at restaurants typically requires paying a 10% tip, commonly called "add one."

4. Hong Kong has no schedule rotation throughout the year, with a total of 43 days off. For Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and National Day, holidays begin from the second day of the festival.

5. Although food delivery is expensive, delivery riders may come from India, Europe, the Philippines, Indonesia, and other places, with languages potentially including Mandarin, Cantonese, and English.

6. Hong Kong has no household registration booklet; you must carry an ID card when going out, otherwise you may face fines.

7. When taking the bus, you must signal in advance to board, and you must press the bell in advance to get off. If you don't press the bell, the driver may not stop.

8. The subway has no security screening. Staying longer than 20 minutes incurs a HK$10 fine, exceeding 150 minutes incurs a HK$63 fine, regardless of whether you exit at the original station or another station.

9. Hong Kong is the world's first city to use seawater for flushing toilets, adopting this practice due to freshwater shortages.

10. Real estate purchases in Hong Kong are calculated in square feet; 500 square feet is approximately equivalent to 45 square meters. Gold purchases are calculated in taels, shopping is calculated in pounds (one pound equals 453 grams), one catty equals 16 taels, and half a catty equals 8 taels.
