Hong Kong Shopping Malls

Looking to visit some Hong Kong shopping malls during your trip? With stores, markets, and malls almost everywhere you go, Hong Kong is definitely a shopper’s city. There are some things you’ll need to know when shopping in Hong Kong. A few common questions from travellers are:

– Where can I find some good Hong Kong shopping malls?

– What kinds of stores are inside, and what do they sell?
– How do I get to any of these shopping malls?

Depending on what you’re planning to buy, you’ll need to visit a mall containing stores selling what you’re looking for. The problem is, with so many Hong Kong shopping malls in the city, you probably don’t know which ones are worth visiting. You may not even know a mall carrying what you want exists at all. This can make shopping a bit confusing for travellers visiting a big city like Hong Kong.

It’s best to know what the Hong Kong shopping malls have, and what to expect before you get there. This is where I can help you out. You don’t want to spend an hour or two travelling to a mall in Hong Kong to find out it has nothing you were hoping it would have.

You may be able to save some money if you buy things from a mall containing independent shops. You can compare prices at a couple shops if you have time, but don’t spend all day comparing. It’s not worth obsessing over the price all day if you’re only going to save $10-$20 HKD.

Brand name products are usually the same price in every store, unless you find a store having a sale. If you do find a store selling a high priced, brand name product for very cheap, there’s a good chance that product could be fake.

You can trust a Brand name store, like Burberry or Chanel, to have authentic products. You can also trust department stores will only sell the real deal. It becomes more difficult to tell if brand name products are real or fake at a store selling 2nd hand items, or stores selling products made by many different brand name companies. Use your own judgement here. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

The following is a list of malls in Hong Kong, separated by region. You’ll find information on what kinds of stores are inside, how to get there, and any other important information that I have.


Hong Kong Island

The Hong Kong shopping malls on Hong Kong Island tend to be a little more high class than the rest of the city. They’re fairly big and have many brand name stores inside.

If you’re looking to buy brand name clothing, handbags, cosmetics, shoes, or any other types of fashion, I recommend visiting Causeway Bay. You’ll find a lot of Hong Kong shopping malls in Causeway Bay that carry these things.

If you want to buy electronics or computer products, visit Wan Chai. The Wan Chai District has several malls that sell computers and electronic gadgets.

Some malls in Hong Kong have escalators that go up or down more than 1 floor. So pay attention to which escalator you get on. Otherwise you may end up going past where you want to go, without noticing until it’s too late.

Kowloon

Hong Kong shopping malls are everywhere in Kowloon. This part of the city has anything from high class shopping malls to small shopping centres, and anything in between.

On top of all the malls in Kowloon, there are marketplaces and street shops you can visit as well. Some of the markets have themes, such as fish and aquariums, flowers, or products made from jade. For more information on the marketplaces in Kowloon, visit my Hong Kong shopping page located here.

There are a lot more malls in Kowloon than there are on Hong Kong Island or the New Territories. Shopping is the main attraction in Kowloon. So if that’s what you’re looking for, you’ve come to the right place.

Some people claim that prices for items are cheaper in Kowloon. I personally don’t know how true this claim really is. My experience is that it all depends on what you want to buy, and where you buy it from. If you buy your item from a big store with locations all over the city, it’ll be the same price in all of those stores across the city.

Something to be aware of while in Kowloon is the sheer number of people surrounding you everywhere you go. Some of the districts in Kowloon are among the most densely populated places in the world! Keep an eye on your belongings at all times because it’s easy to have something stolen in large crowds.

The most popular part of Kowloon to visit for shopping is Tsim Sha Tsui. There are so many Hong Kong shopping malls, street shops, hotels, restaurants, and museums in Tsim Sha Tsui, some people can spend their entire trip in Tsim Sha Tsui and never run out of things to do.

New Territories

There aren’t too many major malls in the New Territories when compared to Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. Less people live in the New Territories, so it makes sense that less Hong Kong shopping malls and attractions are out in these more rural areas.

The two regions of the New Territories that seem to have the most development are Lantau Island and the Sha Tin District. Lantau Island has the Hong Kong International Airport, a few attractions like Hong Kong Disneyland and Po Lin Monastery, and a big shopping mall as well.
