Taiwanese media United Daily News reported that a user on the Taiwanese internet asked, "If you're going on a company trip, which would be better, Hong Kong or Shanghai?" and other users' answers were "one-sided."

According to the article, there was a post recently on the Taiwanese internet forum PTT saying, "My company told us to vote on whether to go to Hong Kong or Shanghai for the company trip." According to the poster, company trips had always been Japan, but this year it was changed to China, and employees were to decide the destination by voting between two locations: Hong Kong and Shanghai.

The poster stated that many colleagues did not have a strong preference for the destination and had not expressed clear desires, and then asked for opinions on "Which one is more suitable for a company trip?"

According to the article, many users supported Shanghai in response to this question, with comments such as, "Shanghai's night climate is very comfortable. Highly recommended," "Shanghai is one of China's leading commercial districts, so I recommend visiting it at least once," "I've been to both, but personally, I'd recommend Shanghai," "Shanghai, without hesitation. I just went this year, but I want to go again," "If it's a company trip, the stay will likely be longer, so naturally Shanghai. Hong Kong can be fully enjoyed even on a weekend," and "Hong Kong has high prices. On a company trip, you tend to be hesitant to eat and drink freely, and satisfaction tends to be low."
