Create a Hong Kong Apple ID, then purchase a Hong Kong App Store gift card and top up your account balance. Complete the subscription under that account. Once the subscription is activated, you can switch back to your primary account for regular use. Make sure your Hong Kong account has sufficient balance before each renewal date. Hong Kong gift cards are available on major e-commerce platforms — always purchase from reputable sellers.

Key points to keep in mind: Hong Kong gift cards are denominated in HKD, so factor in the actual CNY conversion cost; switching to a Hong Kong account may result in minor differences in localized features; failed auto-renewals will interrupt your subscription, so setting a balance reminder is advisable. Even with these considerations, the Hong Kong price of ¥1.73 is still far below the global average of ¥20.54, making it a highly cost-effective choice.
