Facebook Places is available to users in Hong Kong with mobile access to the Facebook application for iPhone, Android, Blackberry, HP webOS, and Windows Phone 7, or to touch.facebook.com.

Users will be able to see if any of their friends are currently checked in nearby and connect with them easily.

They can also check into nearby places to tell their friends where they are, tag their friends in the places they visit together, and view comments their friends have made about the places they visit.

In December, Hong Kong's Harbour City became the first shopping mall in Hong Kong to use Jiepang, a Chinese version of location-based service inspired by Foursqure, in its Christmas marketing initiatives.

Places is currently available in the United States, Japan, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
