Hong Kong has long been known as a shoppers paradise. It still is, but more than ever before, one needs to know where to go shopping, there are so many malls and shopping streets, markets and Antique shops.Sandra Haughton, Hong Kong’s shopping “guru” and founder of “Shopping 4 U”, says “Finding the right outlets was and still is the hardest part of my business”.
Why waste valuable shopping time struggling to find remote destinations, when “Shopping 4 U” can transport you between each outlet in air-conditioned comfort allowing you to shop with ease.
Practically all of Hong Kong is a shopper's paradise for clothes, accessories, shoes and furniture. Year-round, you'll find many sales in and around Central on Hong Kong Island and limitless bargains to be had in Mongkok, on the Kowloon side.
Designer shops and exclusive labels are a dime a dozen here, and lots of foreign tourists usually come here to restock and update their wardrobe. Many local labels, such as Giordano, also have done well on foreign shores. These are another source of fashion for men, women and children.
Hong Kong's traditional markets – where bargaining is the right way to get the right price – provide a vivid contrast to the shiny new skyscrapers which house designer boutiques. Several markets offer silk products, Chinese artwork, collectibles and curios at affordable prices.

Where to buy
MarketsBargaining is the preferred way to shop at Hong Kong's markets. Sometimes one's method of payment, such as cash, may bring about a slight discount. You'll do especially well by haggling with a smile and a chuckle at night markets.
Although markets allows you to boast your bargaining skills, it is good to remember that products sold at these markets do not come with proper guarantees. Such purchases are, of course, non-returnable, exchangeable or refundable.
Notable markets include: Stanley Market, the Jade Market, the Temple Street Night Market, the Ladies Market, the Flower Market, the Goldfish Market, and the bird market.
Stanley Market is probably the best known market in Hong Kong, and it is certainly an ideal place to buy gifts and souvenirs. The historic narrow and winding lanes are packed with vendors selling Chinese artwork, silk items, and much, much more. Location: Stanley, Hong Kong Island. Hours: 09:00 – 18:00.

Malls and Department StoresMost department stores and retailers do not practice bargaining, but they will often slash their prices during sales to attract customers. Times Square, The Landmark, The Galleria, Prince's Building, Alexandra House, Pacific Place and the ifc mall are the major Hong Kong Island shopping centres, with designer shops and exclusive brand names in abundance. To exercise your purchasing power on the Kowloon side, don't miss Festival Walk in Kowloon Tong, The New World Shopping Centre and Ocean Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui, and New Town Plaza in Sha Tin.
