Anyway, let's go on on alongside the shopping wonderland called Hong Kong!
#3 Mongkok
Mongkok-- a groovy house to store fifty-fifty if it's a pop house for tourists. There's ever the Ladies' Market to visit, which is listed inwards almost every go guide book. If you've never been to Hong Kong as well as desire to practise "touristy" things, become to Ladies Market. Prices at that spot are higher than many other similar places inwards Hong Kong. If y'all are a grapple hunter, become to Argyle Centre as well as Fa Yuen Street.
Argyle Centre is a small-ish shopping complex crammed sum alongside shops selling woman somebody as well as manful somebody vesture every bit good every bit accessories. It is fifty-fifty to a greater extent than crammed sum of materials than the shops at Dragon Centre as well as Kwai Chung Plaza as well as the layout of the house is pretty messy too. However, it is a wonderful house to larn lost inwards since at that spot are shops selling tops for every bit inexpensive as *gasp* HKD 4-30. You tin also discovery some groovy deals here. I bought a T-Shirt hither for HKD 25 when other places similar shops at Kwai Fong were selling the same shirt for HKD80! You tin also discovery pleather backpacks going for every bit inexpensive every bit HKD 60. Thus don't brush off Mongkok every bit a house filled alongside tourist traps! There are definitely a pair of skilful deals if y'all know where to go.
Apparel-wise, Argyle Centre is a groovy house to store if you're somewhat sparse as well as young, since the styles at that spot seem to cater to the teenage as well as immature adult crowds as well as most vesture are inwards gratis size. Also, quite a lot of shops sell things alongside the same or similar designs but of dissimilar quality, hence live certain to store to a greater extent than or less to banking enterprise check out the diversity there. Also, practise banking enterprise notation that the character of the clothes sold are variable but are rather value worthy considering the cost paid. Clothes produced for fast fashion are commonly non of the highest quality, although y'all tin spot a pair of gems i time inwards a while.
**Personally, I discovery that the fancier looking shops are located at the lower levels piece the transcend 2 levels receive got a bunch of inexpensive clothes as well as bags but they commonly receive got similar designs.

Another house inwards (near) Mongkok is Fa Yuen Street. It's similar Ladies Market(at Tung Choi Street) but alongside less tourists. I brought Christine at that spot i time when nosotros travelled to HK together a few years back. There were some pretty skilful things to purchase at that spot then. However, I've non visited this house inwards a piece since I've got novel fave places to shop. Nonetheless, it's a skilful house to banking enterprise check out if you're looking for a Ladies Market alternative.
Directions to Fa Yuen Street:
From Mongkok MTR Station, receive got Exit B2 as well as plough left(facing the street). Walk as well as Fa Yuen Street is at the tertiary intersection.
You tin also larn at that spot via Prince Edward MTR Station as well as receive got Exit B2.
Besides these 2 areas inwards Mongkok, y'all tin also consider checking out Langham Place, which is straight connected to the MTR via Exit C3. It's has all the brands but what makes it stand upward out is the sequence of long escalators (think iv stories) at that spot that gives a groovy sentiment of the mall.

#4 Tsim Sha Tsui
Tsim Sha Tsui, also known every bit TST, is a house I love. It's i of the places that I am pretty familiar alongside since for the yesteryear few years, I've been staying at a guesthouse inwards TST whenever my menage unit of measurement as well as I view Hong Kong. It's a to a greater extent than upmarket surface area alongside many shopping malls similar The One, K-11 as well as Harbour City, hence shopping hither is non every bit inexpensive every bit the places mentioned earlier. There is also the pop Granville Street, which sells clothes similar to shops inwards Sham Shui Po, Kwai Fong as well as Mongkok but non every bit cheap.
Why receive got I listed it every bit i of my favourite shopping places then?
It's because it's the best surface area to larn whatever concluding infinitesimal shopping done! It has all my must-visit shops inwards the area, including the Esprit Outlet located at China Hong Kong City located at Canton Road, a Monki shop at Granville Road as well as other shops located along Carnavon as well as Cameron Street. There's a actually large Bonjour outlet inwards the area, which I similar to become to discovery some difficult to discovery products. There is also a 2 stories high SaSa inwards the surface area (besides the other smaller branches that tin live constitute inwards the area). You tin literally purchase everything at that spot if you've got express time.
There are also many shops selling yummy street nutrient here, such every bit egglets(waffle balls). There's a street of dessert as well as snack shops along Hart Ave worth checking out too.If someone tells me I've entirely got iii hours to larn all my shopping done, this is where I'll go.

| I went to banking enterprise check out Honey Creme, a pop soft serve store as well as tried the milk tea as well as pearls H2O ice cream. Decided it was too overrated every bit a house but if y'all love icy soft serve,you tin banking enterprise check out this place. |
#5 Lai Chi Kok
The concluding house would live Lai Chi Kok. Lai Chi Kok is known for its shops doing wholesale fashion, which agency many owners come upward hither to purchase clothes for their ain shops. The most famous of all places is the Hong Kong Industrial Centre, which you'll discovery if y'all plough correct upon exiting Exit C at Lai Chi Kok MTR (aka if the Edward Wong Tower is reverse you, the edifice is behind you).
When y'all larn inwards Hong Kong Industrial Centre, y'all mightiness merely become crazy if you're non prepared for it. It's that overwhelming, merely to larn inwards as well as live greeted alongside clothes as well as people everywhere. The diversity of styles is crazy here-- you'll barely discovery a store selling the same thing. The cost make hither is also merely every bit big, alongside prices ranging from HKD 50 to HKD 400.
I managed to purse a few groovy bargains when I visited alongside Christine, including a existent leather pouch as well as purse for HKD lx as well as HKD eighty respectively, every bit good every bit a cool outerwear for HKD 50! Needless to say, this house is AMAZING. I advise that y'all larn inwards the house alongside a listing of things y'all are looking for inwards mind. If not, you'll live swept away yesteryear the diversity as well as overspend your budget.
The downside to this house is that at that spot is entirely i cafe located at the basement, hence if you're hungry, y'all either caput downwards at that spot or become to Cheung Sha Wan Plaza located across the street to create sum your tummies. Just hence y'all know, the staff at the cafe at the basement volition chase y'all out if they guess that y'all receive got overstayed your welcome, specially during peak hours.

| As y'all tin run across from the left picture, non everything hither tin live considered every bit "cheap". Sellers volition tell y'all that because they are a wholesalers, the prices for the same things in other parts of HK volition live marked higher. Decide carefully if y'all are willing to commit to the cost at that spot since y'all may discovery similar looking styles going for cheaper when y'all store to a greater extent than or less HK. |
 |
| I didn't purchase this purse but I was hence tempted to! HKD 180 (SGD 30) for a sum leather purse which has a pouch within sounded similar a rattling skilful grapple to me. This was taken at the purse store where Christine as well as I constitute a pair of skilful deals! If you're interested to know where it is, check below for the address as well as details since I took a work concern bill of fare from them. |

| A decent repast for hungry stomachs. I got the 常餐 (something similar a value meal) Christine got the brisket noodles. |
