A shipping and commercial hub, and a free port, Hong Kong is home of great deals from across the globe! Its history and convenience help make it one of the most impressive of all shopping destinations.
You must see the City Plaza. This is a top-of-the-line department store prominently featuring products by Marks and Spencers. City Plaza has all of those familiar designer shops one so desperately needs to see, and it also has virtually every toy marketed by Toys R Us. Boasting a popular skating rink, the Plaza is where one can find all kinds of Foreign and Local fast foods.
In Kowloon you will want to travel The Nathan Road, very popular with night shoppers. Haggle, haggle, haggle, and have some fun doing it. Even if you do not decide to buy anything from the many unique boutiques, you will enjoy watching and listening to those who do. Just remember, you are the one with the money and the shop keeper really wants to sell you something!
Upscale shoppers will be drawn to the Landmark Atrium, a shopping center that seems designed for the rich and accessory-starved. Designer bags, shoes, and all sorts of clothes are to be had here, if the price is right. Access to the Atruim is very convenient because it connects with the local station directly.
Back in Kowloon again, you should find–and plan to spend some time in–the Stanley Market. This extremely well-known shopping center is famous for its atmosphere of excitement and fun. High-energy shoppers will be at home here, finding wonderful Chinese artworks, Mao trinkets, and various souvenirs. This market is reached by a wild trip through jungle and wildlife.
Finally, the budget shopper and the window shopper will revel in the famous Lanes of Hong Kong. These streets are lined with booths and stalls selling budget items of all sorts, sizes, shapes, and kinds. Electronics, clothing, foods, books, trinkets, and almost anything can be found here. You might stumble upon the “find” of your life!
Make sure, while you shop in Hong Kong, that you savor the experience and will be reminded of the great times you will have as you gaze upon the prizes you bring home.
