Top 10 Places to Shop
-
1. Golden Shopping Centre
Cheap computer equipment here, and nearby shops have a massive range of VCDs and DVDs. Take care – many are poor-quality pirate recordings.
-
2. Dragon Centre
Soaring glassy mall in the midst of Sham Shui Po’s grime and dust. Good food hall, computer stuff and a terrifying rollercoaster.
-
3. Log-On
The household goods division of the stylish City-Super supermarket chain. Best part of this store is called The Gadget – row upon row of well-designed gizmos for the discerning homemaker.
-
4. Yuet Chung China Works
The place to come for all kinds of china objects – tableware, decorative, personalized or monogrammed. Orders may take four weeks but shipping is arranged.
-
5. Lancome
Take your pick from the skin check-up, the 45-minute VIP consultation, or go straight for a one-hour facial in a private cabin.
-
6. Page One
Massive branch of Hong Kong’s great bookshop chain. Top marks for stacking books with the covers facing outward, saving readers badly kinked necks. Good coffee shop, too.
-
7. Yu Chau Street and Nam Cheong Street
The small shops that line these two streets sell an enormous range of laces, zippers, ribbons, beads and buttons – a wider choice than you might have imagined could exist.
-
8. Crabtree and Evelyn
More sweet-smelling goodies to pamper yourself with here. The smell of lavender pot-pourri nearly knocks you over as you enter.
-
9. Bang & Olufsen
Audophiles will drool over the sleek designs and crystal clarity from one of the most distinguished names in sound.
-
10. Artemis
Great range of shoes, particularly their eponymous label.
