Chinese Arts and Crafts Pacific Place
This may feel like a Chinatown emporium but it’s the best place for one-stop shopping for traditional Chinese objects and fashions like jade trinkets, carved chopsticks, silk pajamas and dragon-motif teapots. Here you can find everything from herbal teas and healing balms and remedies to furniture, ceramics and fashions, including skirts and jackets fashioned out of antique textiles.
G.O.D.
Think of this as Hong Kong's version of the Conran store, Muji and Anthropologie all wrapped into one. Creative, colorful and whimsical, G.O.D. (the acronym stands for Goods of Desire) stocks home wares, accessories, paper goods and gifts. It's a fun place to pick up local mementoes, too, like wallets festooned with local iconography and imagery. You can find similar Chinese-inspired knick-knacks at markets like Stanley, but the experience of shopping here—less hunting, no haggling— is much more pleasant.
Mountain Folkcraft
A slightly hidden treasure trove, this Central shop carries unusual (for Hong Kong) folksy items, like handmade masks and natural dye clothes from all over China. Hunt for bags, cards, bamboo chopsticks and jade carved ornaments. This is a charming detour off HK’s luxury brand drag.
Pedder Building
This historic building houses renowned international art galleries including Gagosian Gallery, a branch of London’s Ben Brown Gallery, Pearl Lam Galley and Simon Lee Gallery. Temporary exhibitions range from photographs and Chinese scroll paintings to Jeff Koons sculptures.
Shanghai Tang
The flagship shop of David Tang, Shanghai Tang brought new glamour to traditional Chinese style clothes with electric-colored silk Mao jackets and authentic Chinese tailoring for women. The multi-story emporium now includes children’s clothing and a home collection.
