Hong Kong is renowned for its numerous tailoring stores that offer bespoke services. Visitors often want to get some office wear tailored during their stay, and Cheung Hing Tailor Company, which is located in the heart of Hong Kong's office-heavy Central district, is one such company that offers this service resembling a tailoring warehouse littered with bales of suiting fabric imported from the best mills in the world. Cheung Hing Tailor Company, managed by Mr. Chan Hing and his team of assistants (many of whom speak English), has been in existence since 1960 exclusively tailoring to men. This outfit has some of the most competitive prices in the business and is thus patronized by locals and visitors alike. -Anjeeta Nayar
