Wechat Pay is being accepted by an increasing number of local businesses in Hong Kong to serve the growing number of tourists from the mainland.

Statistics show that over 6.2 million tourists visited Disneyland in Hong Kong in fiscal 2017. More than one-third of them were from the Chinese mainland.

Those numbers are expected to continue rising, especially with the opening of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link.
