Hong Kong is one of Asia’s premier shopping destinations. From antiques, electronics and furniture, to sportswear, exquisite jewellery and designer handbags, just about everything under the sun can be found at the city’s many shopping malls and retail streets. 

Bargaining for the right price is all part of the fun of shopping in Hong Kong, especially if you’re shopping at a local market. Hong Kong also has outlet malls just outside the city centre – you can find designer brands offering discounts of up to 70% off original prices, though products are usually from previous seasons. Check out this guide for ideas on what to buy and where to shop in Hong Kong.

    Head over to Hollywood Road in Central, where you’ll find Chinese antiques shops and galleries showcasing Asian art. Jade Market is one of Hong Kong’s oldest markets – it has rows of vendors selling gemstones like jade, which is believed to bring good luck to its owner. Most shopping malls carry embroidered Chinese-style dresses and local food products like teas, herbs, and Chinese medicine.
