Book a low–cost, last–minute flight to Hong Kong and get ready to shop until you drop. The city has boutiques, international department stores and malls with something to suit every budget.
Keep an eye out for shops that display a Quality Tourism Services sign, as these have been certified by the Hong Kong Tourism Board to help travellers identify shops they can trust.
Many of Hong Kong’s malls, designer shopping and international luxury brands can be found in the Central or Admiralty districts.
Hong Kong’s famous street markets have a vibrant atmosphere. Stanley Market has traditional Chinese clothes, handicrafts, silks, curiosities and artwork. You might find some cloisonné pieces or some fine wooden artefacts. Li Yuen Street East and Li Yuen Street West are also crammed with stalls selling a variety of goods from the tasteful to the tacky. Antique collectors should head for Cat Street bazaar.
Yau Ma Tai’s Jade market has an overwhelming display of the stone long associated with good luck. Or take in the sweet heady aroma of the beautiful blooms at the entrancing flower market in Kowloon.
