The rich festive activities of Hong Kong Christmas bring the charm of Hong Kong’s boutique collection, fashionable taste and value for money to the highest level. This Christmas, there is no better time to go shopping in Hong Kong. The only thing you need to be careful about is not maxing out your credit card.
Stop 1 - Visit Harbor City with a map
Harbor City is the largest shopping mall in Tsim Sha Tsui District. There are more than 700 shops in it, covering almost all well-known brands. If you have a lot to buy, Harbor City is a great place to go. However, Harbor City is very easy to get lost due to its large area and complex structure. It is best to go to the main information desk to get a shopping mall guide after entering the mall, and follow the map to find the brand store you need to visit.
In fact, there are many large shopping malls in Hong Kong, and the brands in each shopping mall are similar. In terms of price, the discounts for the same brands are also similar. Therefore, when going shopping in Hong Kong, there is no need to visit different shopping malls. It is enough to choose the one you like and walk around.
Stop 2 - Experience Hong Kong in SOHO and NOHO districts
Because there are many foreign white-collar workers living in Central, Hong Kong has slowly formed a cluster of countries from all over the world near Lan Kwai Fong. The SOHO area of ??food and bars, SOHO is the abbreviation of South of Hollywood Road. Usually, when we read entertainment news, Hong Kong paparazzi often take photos of certain celebrities outside bars, mostly in this area. If you want to visit the SOHO area, you can take the elevator from Central to Mid-Levels after arriving in Central, and then walk down. This can save a lot of energy. Corresponding to the SOHO district is the NOHO district (Gough Street). It is actually near the SOHO district, but it has a completely different style. In a quiet alley, there are several restaurants and cafes with good style and price. Usually there are not a large number of tourists gathering, and only local people come here.
There are no bustling crowds here, and there are the most traditional roadside stalls nearby. You can have a cup of milk tea, sit slowly, chat with the boss, and watch the Hong Kong people coming and going.
Here, there are a series of unique small shops. They may not be eye-catching in Hong Kong, where land is at a premium, but they have many fans. Homeless is a lifestyle concept store located on this street. The store has works by WunYing, an illustrator who is known as the Hong Kong version of Yoshitomo Nara. The same big-headed dolls and weird eyes make every design full of playfulness. Of course, in the SOHO and NOHO districts, in addition to experiencing Hong Kong life, you can also buy many specialty products. For example, limited edition sneakers may not be found in shopping malls, but you can find them here.
Stop 3 - Eat a bowl of beef brisket and try Hong Kong food
Hong Kong is a gourmet paradise that people talk about, and delicacies from all over the world are gathered here. Some people say: "You can eat delicious food from all over the world without leaving Hong Kong." This is not an exaggeration.
There is a famous beef brisket restaurant in NOHO district - Jiuji Beef Brisket. It is very famous in Hong Kong, and many celebrities come here to eat beef brisket. The boss here is also very good. He does not provide reservation service. It is first come, first served and everyone is equal. It will never open before 12:30, no matter how long the customers queue outside or how long the queue is.
In addition, you must try the food in tea restaurants when you arrive in Hong Kong. On Wellington Street in Central, there is Tsui Wah Tea Restaurant, diagonally opposite the old Yung Kee Restaurant. This is also a restaurant often visited by celebrities. Here you can sit slowly and definitely feel like you are in Hong Kong.
Expert Experience
According to the summary of several experts, in order to catch the excitement of the shopping festival, the sooner you go, the better. If you rush there when the shopping festival is almost over, the discounts will be the same, but the products you like are likely to be out of stock or out of stock. Generally, what they go to Hong Kong to buy are clothing, electrical appliances, and cosmetics. In particular, more and more tourists are buying mobile phones. However, it is better to buy a new model.
In addition, in the past, many people would go to the "Ladies Street" where vendors gathered to hunt for bargains, but now fewer mainland tourists go there.
Many of the products on the "Ladies' Street" are produced in Shenzhen, with favorable prices and newer clothing styles than those in the mainland. If you go shopping there, buy trendy styles.
