A shopper's guide to Causeway Bay, Hong Kong

  • Published 15 April 2018

Hong Kong, the neon blur of a city that’s well-known for a plethora of things – it’s exquisite food scene, Hong Kong Disneyland, Victoria Peak and of course, shopping! The hustle and bustle of this exciting metropolis comes to life in Causeway Bay, the hotspot for all things fashion, international trade and retail. Whether you’re on the hunt for that gorgeous item for a special occasion or simply want to return home and say “oh, I picked this up in Hong Kong” to your green-eyed friends, we guarantee all your retail needs will be met and exceeded. Causeway Bay is ideal for the self-proclaimed shopaholic, fashion trailblazers and even those with a love for electronical goods and antiques. From luxury malls and department stores to one-of-a-kind boutiques and bargain street markets, every visitor is promised to be blown away by the options. So, get the plastic out, practise your haggling skills and strengthen your biceps to carry your bags – because it’s time to shop.
 

Times Square, Hong Kong

An equally electrifying but very different version of the New York City original, Times Square in Hong Kong has to be your first port of call when visiting Causeway Bay. Here you’ll find the biggest shopping mall on Hong Kong Island, home to more than 230 stores spread across 16 floors. The mall is open daily from 10am to 10pm and plays hosts to several Western brands both high street and high-end including the likes of Vivienne Westwood, Marks & Spencer, Gucci and Nike. We suggest dedicating an entire day to this impressive retail complex, starting early and finishing late to get the most out of your retail needs. Desperate to give your arms a break from lugging around several bags? Take the weight off and see the latest blockbuster at the mall’s cinema. Worked up an appetite from all the retail excitement? The restaurant options here are out of this world whether you’re in the mood for something quick and light or a sit-down gourmet affair. Oh, and what’s Time Square without the neon lights and the huge external video screen? The New Year’s celebrations take place on the piazza, making Hong Kong a must-visit in December for a whole host of unforgettable memories.

Jardine’s Crescent Street Market

Whip out your haggling skills and get ready to bargain at the bustling street market located on Jardine’s Crescent. This exciting outdoor complex is Hong Kong shopping at its finest – fast-paced, cheap and trendy. It also makes a refreshing change from the high-end malls in the Causeway Bay area as just walking through the street is an experience in itself. Jardine’s Crescent is where you’ll find a variety of inexpensive item’s such as shirts, shoes and bags but lovers of labels beware as there are several fake branded items floating around so inspect the quality thoroughly before making your purchase. Although haggling is the norm along the street, it’s easier to persuade the vendors to decrease their prices if you’re buying more than one item. Oh, and remember, don’t bargain too low in order to not offend the vendors. Once you’re laden with bags of your new fashion finds, head to the fresh food market at the bottom of the alley for some authentic Asian delights.
