Hong Kong's benchmark Hang Seng Index dropped 34.14 points to 21,071.57. Turnover was 57.69 billion Hong Kong dollars (7.40 billion US).
Chinese shares closed up 1.21 percent amid growing signs that the world's third-largest economy is slowing, making further tightening policies unlikely, dealers said.
