Reception

[edit]

Andrew Chan of the Film Critics Circle of Australia writes, "One of the reasons why "I Love Hong Kong 2013″ works, is because it touches upon relevant Hong Kong people concerns and the sentimental value that people place on long lost Hong Kong culture in the rapidly changing territory. "[1]

I Love Hong Kong 2013 earned HK$16,894,784 at the Hong Kong box office.[2]
