Goldfish Market

Popular spot for locals, as a fishtank in the right spot is thought to ward off bad luck. Hook a bargain on underwater furniture with an oriental flavour.
Granville Road

Great for souvenir T-shirts, all manner of big label knock-offs and factory seconds. Also top value at chain stores like Bossini and Giordano.
Gucci

This beautiful temple to the brand of Gucci is tended by elegant priestesses. It’s merely a question of whether you can afford to worship here.
Hang Heung Bakery

Hong Kong’s most popular baker of “wife cakes”, a flaky pastry filled with red bean paste. These traditional confections arede rigueur at Chinese weddings.
Harbour City

There are at least 700 shops in this vast agglomeration of malls stretching the length of Canton Road. It comprises the Ocean Terminal, Ocean Centre and Golden Gateway complexes. For serious shoppers only.
Horizon Plaza

This shabby, high-rise building on the edge of Ap Lei Chau (see Ap Lei Chau)is home to a number of outlets for discount clothing, warehouse furniture, antiques and home furnishings. A taxi from Aberdeen is probably the simplest way to reach it.
IKEA

Even those who are not normally fans of the Swedish chain will find the wide array of made-in-China products attractive.
Inside

A modest warehouse outlet of a smart interior furnishings chain. There’s a small range of clearance items at discounts of up to 90 per cent.
Island Beverley

An arcane arcade stuffed with tiny boutiques featuring the creations of talented young local designers.
IT

Smart, minimalist outlet for sleek Japanese and American street clothes and accessories.
