This is one of TST's newest shopping centres with a good variety of stores. There are 7 levels of stores, cinemas, supermarkets and restaurants. We discovered this was the best station for us to use the MTR so we were in and out of isquare each and every day. I also discovered a new Starbucks in here, so occasionally indulged in "real" coffee for breakfast. isquare was only about a one minute walk from where were staying at Hop Inn so very convenient for us.

Also in isquare is a HMV store, with a huge selection of audio stuff, all at great prices, but unfortunately none that were compatible for us to use in Australia.

isquare is definitely worth a look, with some High end stores, but not as many as a lot of other shopping arcades.

Langham Place is the currently tallest building in Mong Kok, you can easily spot it out. It is the second ”vertical mall” in the city, depart from the common western model of the flat shopping mall because of the high land price.

The enormous atrium of Langham

Over 15 levels of retailed area is configured in its 600,000 sq ft, with a wide range of international brands including Seibu, H&M, Giorgio Armani and others from the underground levels to the 3rd floor. Then you will find a food court providing all sorts of cuisine and famous restaurants like Mos Burger or Italian Tomato on the 4th. From the 5th to 7th, there lines the most trendy brands for the youth, including Muji, sportware stores and a lot of popular local brands such as i.t. or izzue.com.

H&M store at the front entrance of Langham

A cinema run by UA cinemas with six houses and 1,122 seats is on the 8th, but they also have ticketing windows on the back side of the ground floor.

You need not climb every level or wait painfully for the lifts to reach the high areas, as they have two pairs of Xpresscalators - temporarily the longest indoors escalators here - in the mall. One of which leads you from the the 4th floor instantly to the 8th, another pair consecutively from the 8th to the 12th.

”Xpresscalator”

At the other end of the Xpresscalator, you will arrive at the Ozone, the premium dining area consisting of the 12th and 13th floor. Under the hypnotic imagery of the Digital Sky, this is the perfect venue to dine at no matter you are at the chic restaurants or the bars or the cafes in Ozone.

Come to this bright shopping centre with the breathtaking architecture and open-air terraces. Easy to find while situated right above the Hong Kong Station and, only 2 minutes away from the Outlying Island Ferries ... this is International Finance Centre, better said "are 2 IFC", because of 2 tower complexes!

The first was completed in the year of 1998, 210m. tall and has 38 storeys with ... yep, 18 high speed lifts, double-deck elevators. It is the second IFC building that got so famous. This is the tallest building of Hong Kong, and has 88 storeys, a lucky number to the Cantonese people who believe that 88 is an extremely auspicious and good balanced number. That happened with the Emporis Skyscraper Award 2003 which was awarded to the "best 2 new skyscrapers" of 2003 ...

What to buy: Well, it is not the most expensive mall of Hong Kong, though I think the prices are spicy, and surely not below the market. I shopped there for the breathtaking architecture, the exciting atmosphere, the inspiring building, the artistic views ... really!

What to pay: High-fashion boutiques all around even have deals and sales, still an Calvin Klein T-shirt you will have to pay about 100$ ... and if lucky about 40.

Our hotel was located within the shopping complex, so this was a natural place for us to do our shopping. Pacific Place is a designer shopping center carrying many of the large designer stores, specialty shops, banking institutions, health and beauty supply stores, and anything else you would expect to find in a shopping center.

You will be in heaven shopping your favorite designer labels like Christian Dior, Fendi, Coach, Dolce & Gabana, Burberry, Channel just to name a few. There is also a large food court with fantastic restaurants

What to buy: A shopping complex, you will find every type of store you may be looking for.

What to pay: From average to expensive.

*personally prefer the shopping mall in Tsing Yi, selling more variety of items, but more crowded...
**"Old Market Review" mentioned in the Maritime Square's webpage is appealing right? but it's already removed...

Festival Walk is the largest & one of the most upscale in the city. It has over six floors, & takes at least a half a day to explore. To some, it might remind you of the American MegaMalls. Under this mall is the MTR -KCR interchange, where over one million people away change from train to subway & vice versa. It has become one of the most important transportation hubs in Hong Kong.

Many world brand names have opened here, including Marks & Spencer(largest in HK), Espirit, Disney Store, Polo Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Escada Sport, TCNY, French Connection, MANGO, Armani Exchange, CHANEL, MAC, Aveda, Estee Lauder, Michael Rene, Tommy Hilifiger ......

In addition to the 200 + stores in the mall, there is an AMC(movie theatre) & Hk's largest skating rink.

It is very interesting to see people skate @ Festival Walk, for unlike North America, there are less than 10 ice rinks in Hong Kong. First of all, not many people in HK like the cold, & second there isn't space & capital(land is very expensive) in Hong Kong to operate large scale skating rinks.

Instead of just skating around, a lot of skaters here hold on to each other to form a snake, & you could see the one at the front struggling to get everyone moving. Sometimes people would get so scared that once the line wobbles, everyone runs towards the boards, causing people from behind to crash into them. This may not always happen, but it's very common.

What to buy: brand name ...

What to pay: 100 HKD +
