Even if you hate shopping, you’ll find at least one gem to buy in Hong Kong. With spending embedded in the culture and consumerism deep in this manufacturing hub’s roots, this island isn’t known as a shopping mecca for nothing. Being sharp will come in handy in terms of avoiding tourist traps, and as any savvy Chinese shopper will tell you, compare prices at three different places before you hand over any cash.
Among the city’s best market’s is the Ladies’ Market on Tung Choi St. in Mong Kok where inexpensive clothes, shoes and gadgets are always on sale. You’l find jackets, jeans, t-shirts and even under garments at this Kowloon market, plus plenty of inexpensive suitcases to haul home your goods. Nearby in the Kowloon neighborhood is the jam-pack Nathan Road ( also called the “Golden Mile”) beautiful views of the central across the harbor and cultural cachet.
At the Temple Street Night Market in Yau Ma Tei (Temple Street and Jordan Road) you can shop for everything from CDs to clothing, watches and more while you nosh on snacks from the many food vendors. This is one of the liveliest night markets in Kowloon and the place to go for cheap clothes, open-air street stall food, live seafood vendors, watches, pirated CDs, fake labels, footwear, cookware and everyday items. Any marketed prices should be considered mere suggestions as this is definitely a place to bargain. You’ll also find fortune-tellers and herbalists and occasionally some free open-air Cantonese opera performances near the Yau Ma Tei end of the street, underneath the bridge. The market officially opens at 4 p.m., but most hawkers set up at about 6 p.m. and leave by midnight. Daily 4 p.m.-midnight.
