While some comments here make sense, some are pure delusional. Agree that Shenzhen is more technologically advanced in infrastructure compared to HK, but comments implying HK is second-tier city or below top 20 Chinese cities? Like it or not, HK is still the city with the highest HDI in Asia and frequently ranks among top 3 financial centers of the world. It has the second highest GDP per capita in China, and despite its small size/population compared to even other prefecture cities (1/4 population of most ranking above it), it has the 6th highest GDP. Shenzhen and new cities do indeed have better infrastructures, but whatever criticism falls on HK, the same is gonna fall on old-school cities like Shanghai. It is difficult to build in existing space compared to building in new.
