As Christmas approaches, many mainlanders will come to Hong Kong to feel the Christmas atmosphere. A mainland woman posted an article on Xiaohongshu yesterday (3rd), saying that she took her friends to Hong Kong for afternoon tea this past weekend. After checking into a hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui, she received a written notice from the hotel the next day asking her for a “room” worth NT$8,600. “Face restoration fee” refers to the fact that she did something wrong. In less than a day since the relevant post was posted, more than a thousand netizens have left messages and discussed it.

The mainland woman described the incident in her post and showed a fine letter from the hotel. The content was that she had invited friends to Hong Kong for afternoon tea this past weekend, and she originally stayed at a five-star hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui on the first day. , but because “the LV show had just ended and there were so many celebrities”, I changed to another Tsim Sha Tsui hotel the next day. After staying for one night, I woke up in the morning and was told by a friend that there was a letter for her in the room. She said, “I thought it was funny at first, but then it wasn’t so funny when I saw it was my name!”

Hotel accuses people of smoking in rooms. Mainland woman refutes: The cigarette butts were brought back by friends who smoked them outside.

According to the photo she uploaded, it can be seen that the penalty letter sent to her by the hotel is in simplified Chinese. The letter reads: “We are a non-smoking hotel and implement our commitment to provide guests with a smoke-free environment. We have charged a one-night room rate of HKD $8,600 is used for cleaning costs to restore the room to its original fresh look.” The letter also said: “To avoid disturbing other guests, please do not smoke in corridors, elevators or other public places…Thank you for your cooperation.”

It turned out that the hotel fined the female victim HK$8,600 for smoking in the room, so the hotel fined her HK$8,600 for cleaning fees. However, the female victim explained that “the fine was for a room I booked for a friend, but my name was written on the letterhead” and that the cigarette butt was from her friend. Smoking outside, I just brought the cigarette butts back to the hotel and didn’t have time to throw them away.

Netizen: The hotel did a great job

However, many Xiaohongshu netizens did not accept the female victim’s post and explanation, and all agreed with the hotel’s approach. Some people said: “Why do some mainlanders like to break the rules wherever they go?” They said, “The hotel did a great job” and “Is it true that smoking is allowed indoors in the Mainland?” Some netizens hope that the Mainland can follow Hong Kong’s approach: “I hope the Mainland can strictly control smoking like Hong Kong. Smoking second-hand smoke is really annoying. Dead!”, “Why don’t the mainland learn a lesson? The high-speed rail platform is full of cigarette smoke, and there are cigarette butts under the tracks. You can’t smoke on the train, but there are all smokers under the train!”
