Hong Kong Shopping Guide
Shopping in Hong Kong
Shopping in Hong Kong is a true experience, bringing together the wonderful culture of the area with a truly awesome diversity of products and some exceptional prices. For the real traditional experience take a trip to Kowloon, where many of the local goods can be found in the many colourful markets. Meanwhile, for the desirable brands and super malls Hong Kong island is the place to be.
Most people have heard of Nathan Road in Kowloon, and it is here that there are some of the most colourful markets, with local traders doing what they can to get business. It is a real entrepreneur's world, although bear that in mind when going there, as sometimes the goods may not be all they seem. It is perhaps best to visit Nathan Road for the experience rather than to make any purchases, and on that basis it will be a wonderful taste of Hong Kong life.
One of the great things about shopping in Hong Kong is that the hotels are never far away from the heart of the action, so carrying all those bags back isn't too arduous. Hong Kong is also the home of the tailormade suit. Pop in, decide on all the details and get a full measure, then pick it up before the flight back home. Prices are fantastic, as is the quality.
