Shopping in Hong Kong
Ultra-modern, bustling Hong Kong is one of the world’s best shopping cities, an essential visit for all
shopaholics searching for a bargain. There are several areas to choose from. The urban district of Kowloon,
meaning ‘Nine Dragons’, attracts thousands of tourists every year. A popular first stop here is the modern
shopping district, Tsim Tsa Tsui. However, if you prefer to absorb the atmosphere of more traditional markets
then the Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok districts are probably more your style.
A great place to explore at night is Nathan Road and the surrounding streets, which are filled with flashing
neon signs. You can buy almost anything here. Look out for bargains on electrical goods and jewellery.
It’s possible to buy traditional items in Hong Kong. You can find wedding clothes on Shanghai Street and
shops on Ning Po Street sell the coloured paper models of houses, cars, and bank notes that are burnt at
funerals (when a person dies) so that they’re wealthy in the after-life.
Further along Shanghai Street is the popular night market. It’s full of brightly coloured lights and wonderful
cooking smells. Watch the fortune-tellers whose trained birds choose pieces of paper to predict a person’s
future, and eat delicious noodles, seafood, and other late-night snacks at the inexpensive stalls.
Mong Kok is the place where the famous criminals ‘triad gangs’ are based. As a result most tourists avoid
this area, so it remains mainly Chinese. There are many traditional shops, food stalls and markets. This is an
excellent place to try local foods, which have not been changed to suit tourists’ tastes as they often have in
more popular tourist areas. It’s unlikely to be dangerous for foreigners, so if you’d like to see some of the
more unspoilt areas of Hong Kong, Mong Kok is definitely worth exploring.
One thing is certain about a shopping trip to Hong Kong – you’ll leave with a lot less money than you arrived
with, and a much heavier suitcase!
