Hong Kong is one of the best places in the world to shop, with everything from glittering luxury malls to buzzing street markets packed into a few square miles. Head to Causeway Bay and Tsim Sha Tsui for big-name fashion and designer brands, then cross over to Mong Kok’s Ladies’ Market and Temple Street for bargains and souvenirs. Sham Shui Po is the place for electronics, fabrics and craft supplies, while Stanley Market offers a relaxed seaside browse for art, clothing and gifts
Hong Kong's street markets are loud, colourful and made for bargain hunting. Wander the Ladies' Market in Mong Kok or Temple Street at night for clothes, accessories and souvenirs, and don't be shy about haggling.
For a polished shopping day, head to Harbour City, IFC Mall or Times Square. You'll find international fashion, beauty and luxury brands under one roof, all with the benefit of no sales tax.
Look beyond the big names for things that feel distinctly Hong Kong. Traditional teas, jade jewellery, dried snacks and tailor-made clothing all make memorable gifts and are easy to pack.
