With the 27th anniversary of the Hong Kong handover coming on July 1, there's a shift in the usual protests and gatherings, making the day more sensitive. Amid news of a large police presence and warnings about attire and anthem respect, Hong Kong businesses, especially in the food industry, are offering discounts like the '7.1 Discount' to encourage locals to stay and dine in the city rather than heading north.
