About 20 people recently camped outside Hong Kong’s Star Ferry Pier to get their hands on limited edition toys, debunking claims the group were mainland Chinese tourists reluctant to fork out for hotel rooms.
The misunderstanding emerged from a Facebook post on Saturday that claimed the iconic pier had become a place for mainlanders to sleep rough. Images circulating online showed the group laying on cardboard mats with their belongings outside the closed pier.
A Post reporter travelled to the pier in Tsim Sha Tsui and the nearby Hong Kong Cultural Centre that night, but discovered no signs of anyone camping at either location.
A Star Ferry employee said those earlier seen camping out were waiting to buy limited edition toys.
