That's just normal for the rest of China as well. HK still has much more retail diversity than say Shenzhen, but the gap is closing quickly.

Yeah, I've not been to the mainland so I can't say much about that part.

At least in HK it's particularly bad in the new town areas like Tsueng Kwan O and Ma On Shan, since there isn't really much traditional non-mall retail to begin with in those areas.
