Hong Kong
Tipping Culture
Tipping is generally not expected
Tipping is not really part of the culture in Hong Kong. It is most of the time not expected, except maybe in the most upscale establishments. A 10£ service charge is frequently added to the bill in hotels and restaurants. If you do want to tip, you can round up the bill, and give 10-20 Hong Kong Dollars to the hotel bellboy, but he might not take it.
