Hollywood Road
Antiques.
Cat Street
Probably the best place to buy souvenirs, lots of Mao memorabilia, porcelain, buddha statues and "antiques". Lok Ku Rd, walk down Hollywood Road towards the west, when you see the Man Mo temple walk down the stairs on the right hand side.
The Landmark
An older shopping centre that has had a recent facelift to incorporate a five-star hotel. For many, it remains a focus for many of the most expensive designer fashion shops in Hong Kong.
The Lanes
Buy silks, fabrics, Chinese dresses, watches, leather bags and many other things here. Li Yuen Street West and Li Yuen Street East, between Queens Road and Des Voeux Road Central. Despite its prime location close to Central MTR, these narrow streets have a reputation among locals for quality goods at competitive prices.
IFC Mall
Sleek and impressive, this is arguably the most prestigious shopping centre on the island. Here you will find one of the best cinemas with the added bonus that the film will be the English language version if it is an animation. Go up to the rooftop and you will find yourself in what is technically public open space. The views of Victoria Harbour are good and you will find a couple of bars that will help you enjoy the public terrace on the rooftop by selling you drinks. Although the bars dominate this area, there is nothing to stop you taking your own food and drinks and picnicking on the tables and chairs provided.
Soho and south of Hollywood Rd area
Has a new a trendy shopping area around Staunton and Lower Elgin street with lots of local designers.
Pedder St and Queen's Rd
One of the best locations for jewellery and designer watches at prices that can be up to 35% less than Europe. As always, shop around for the best prices and always buy from reputable dealers to avoid fake goods.
Pacific Place and Queensway and Admiralty Centre
A number of interconnected shopping malls near Admiralty MTR. Pleasant air-conditioned shopping for mid-price to expensive branded goods and restaurants.
