Keep in mind, the lower end the tailor, the more work you will have to do to ensure you get what you want.
I'm actually fine with Beijing, and have been buying suits there for years.... cheaper than Shanghai, let alone HK, and I've found a combination of: 1) bringing a rack suit that I like for them to copy; 2) choosing a nice fabric or supplying them with my own; 3) demanding double stitching; and 4) scheduling at least two fittings -- generally yields favorable results, even at tailors who don't have stellar reputations. I also focus on designs in which pants can be worn without jackets and not look silly. And, I get at least one extra pair of pants per jacket (same fabric, of course).
