Destination: China: Hong Kong

Overview Text Size A A A

Describing Hong Kong as a shopper’s paradise rather understates the case. If it can’t be found here, it probably doesn’t exist. And all of Hong Kong’s amazing shopping venues are concentrated in a compact area; none of the main shopping zones are more than 20 minutes from each other. Indeed, in many cases it’s possible to browse hundreds of stores without recourse to the sidewalk; a system of interlocking air-conditioned walkways, useful in the heat of summer, allows shoppers to stroll for up to a mile.

Hong Kong is the best place in the world to snag Chinese antiques, with around 200 antiques stores, most located along Hollywood Road, just above Central district, selling everything from an exquisite and rare Ming vase, worth tens of thousands of dollars, to $200 chipped and faded Tang-dynasty horse statue.
