I've Been in and out of Landmark in Central since I was a kid as you can see here in the old picture. The Landmark is one of the world's most successful commercial complexes. The development consists of the 48 levels Gloucester Tower, the 47 levels Edinburgh Tower, and a five levels skylighted retail Atrium. The Landmark Atrium is home to the flagship boutiques of many famous international fashion names, having one of the highest concentration of world-leading fashion, jewellery and lifestyle names as well as dining outlets. Edinburgh Tower is one of the three office building components of The Landmark, the other being Gloucester Tower and York House. The buildings' addresses are acknowledged as the most prestigious in Hong Kong. Each of Edinburgh Tower's 28 office floors is centrally air-conditioned with column-free space and a modern communications infrastructure.

Stanley market, a local market, is a all time favorite for shoppers in Hongkong Island. The "market" is actually a number of stalls which were converted from cottages and shophouses.

We love shopping here because all the shops are in traffic free lanes and the atmosphere here is just so easy going.

What to buy: The countless stalls sell a wide range of inexpensive clothing including factory outlets and factory overruns designer items. Other interesting stuff are handicrafts, furnishings (oh.. those lovely lacey tablecloth, runners , pillows etc), lots of bags and shoes, souvenier items, painting, procelain, rattan wares, silk garments... the list can go on and on....

What to pay: Some shops you can bargain for the goods while others are all at fixed prices. Rest assured that prices here are more competitive than any other places in Hongkong

Stanley Markets is a wonderful place full of atmosphere to go and shop for clothing, trinkets and souvenirs, pictures/paintings or just stroll along the beach or have a cold beer at one of the bars there.

Some class it as a tourist trap, but I used to enjoy the trip out there as much as I enjoyed wandering around the shops.

Central is filled with local shops as well as very upmarket boutiques selling expensive brand names from Armani, Cartier, Lanvin to Gucci and Tiffany & Co. The Landmark and Prince’s Building have a lot of these high end stores.

There are also some good watch and jewellery stores in Central. Stanley St is good for its range and reasonably priced photographic equipment. There are some lanes also with stalls and small shops with very good prices.

One especially different store to go to is Shanghai Tang – this store was very upmarket traditional and yet modern Chinese. The concept of the store was to revitalize Chinese design by intermingling traditional Chinese cultural fundamentals with 20th century style. The smell was just wonderful when you enter the store – it was quite unique to them and pleasant. David Tang really has created some wonderful designs in high quality fabric. Downstairs they also have goods for the home, again with the subtle Chinese influence. I bought several things – silver
