Does it seem to be less "bad" when you fill the gas tank up or have more cargo (weight-wise) in the back of the car?

You don't mention mileage of the car and I don't know about road quality in the Hong Kong area. The OEM shock is Bilstein low pressure gas (black body, B4 setting). I replaced with the B6 (yellow body) sport version - no regrets.

If you are in the city and as you have VERY low profile tyres (20") you may be happier with the B4 version.

Thanks for comment! My car has around 56k miles mileage, and HK road is not quite good at all. I just adjusted the air pressure of my tires to the factory settings (front: from 37 psi to 34psi and rear : from 40 psi to 37 psi), then it the ride got a better. So I guess maybe the problem is over inflated tires. However, I will consider replace the whole rear shocks including the dampers and the guide supports later. Thanks!
