Lost in Hong Kong is a 2015 Chinese comedy film directed, co-written and co-produced by Xu Zheng, starring himself along with Zhao Wei, Bao Bei'er, and Du Juan. This is Xu's second directorial feature, after the huge domestic hit Lost in Thailand (2012) which grossed over US$208 million.[4] A third film in the "Lost in" series, Lost in Russia was released in 2020, although all three films' plot and characters are unrelated.

It was released in China on September 25, 2015, and broke several national box office records.[5] It was released in Hong Kong and Macau on November 19.[1]
