Market indexes in China and Hong Kong eased after retaining an upward bias in the previous two months.
The Hang Seng Index fell 1%, and the mainland-focused CSI 300 index decreased 0.9% as benchmark indexes paused.
The liquidity-driven mainland stocks rally halted after investors worried about the pace of recent gains over the last four months.
Since the low in mid-April, the CSI 300 index rebounded nearly 30% and rose to a three-year high.
Investors in the mainland have been rotating out of fixed-income products to riskier assets as interest rates approached record lows amid worries of slowing economic activities.
On the economic front, China's official survey showed ongoing weakness in the manufacturing sector activities in August.
However, a private survey released by S&P Global showed August's manufacturing activities returned to growth as both new orders and export demand improved.
