Shopping in Hong Kong

Since last time went to Hong Kong with friends, right now I still keep some wonderful memories both in my mind and in my computer.

Hong Kong is generally known as a heaven for shoppers. There are Shopping Festivals every year in Hong Kong. The first time been to Hong Kong we were heading to it's crowded shopping streets directly. Haha, my friends are very good at digging great value discount stuffs. Staying with them, I can always be supprised.

For us, Hong Kong's Ladies' market is not so attractive as advertised, we would definitely prefer Thailand's Weekend market rather than this ladies market. This market is small, and the stuff is kind of old fashion. We didn't get any souvenir here. Instead, the best things to buy in Hong Kong is those Famous Brand names.

Didn't know why most of the Brand Names products are cheaper than our own country, prices are normally 100 - 500 HKD cheaper than in our home. The first, I brought back home 2 pairs of Converse shoes, 3 pieces of Levi's jeans.

I recommend friends to go for those shops in Mongkok or Tsimshatsui, it's not so far from Tsimshatsui to Mongkok, we had been walking along from Tsimshatsui to Mongkok in one day, and didn't feel tired.

So, if you choose accommodation in Kowloon, the hotels in Tsimshatsui, Jordan, Yaumatei and Mongkok are not so different. Can be your alternative choices.

of course, there are also many pretty good shopping area in Kowloon. Like Mongkok area, so many shopping malls and people, you will definitely feel dizzy if you don't get use to it. haha
