Fa Yuen Street market/shops: Cheap prices

by lindyz

Fa Yuen Street is very close to the Ladies Markets, so these shops are definitely worth a look if you are in the area. They are only one street away from Ladies Markets in Tung Choi Street, and Id even say they have cheaper stuff here than the Ladies Markets, mainly clothing. Ladies and Mens t-shirts for between $50-$70HK each which is less than $10 each and a great selection too, I bought many t-shirts in Fa Yuen Street. Also great selection of jewellery to purchase. Id say this area is a bit less busy and touristy too, so if youre not a huge fan of the wall to wall people at the ladies Markets, you will probably enjoy shopping in Fa Yuen Street.

7 Eleven or Marketplace: General supplies

by lindyz

When stocking up on munchies and drinks, including alcohol, you cant go past either 7-Eleven or Marketplace, and these 2 stores are literally scattered everywhere throught HK. We bought all of our alcohol at these stores, including a bottle of vodka for only $68 which is less than $10AUD!!!!Also buy here - chips, fruit, softdrinks, mobile phone top-ups and any other general supermarket items, all at very cheap prices.

Da Hood: Sporting/surf brands

by lindyz

One pair of shoes I had failed to find for Georgia was an all black pair of converse low tops, they just didnt seem to sell them anywhere. Then I came across the Da Hood shop in Langham Place Mall and lo and behold .... they had them! Reasonable price too, only $299 which is about $43, so still about half price of same shoes back home. They did not have the size I wanted in store, so I went back in an hour and someone had gone to the warehouse to get them, now I recon thats pretty good service!!!

Vans - Langham Place: Huge selection of Vans stuff

by lindyz

On our first stroll through Langham Place, I discovered a HUGE shop dedicated to Vans stuff, Charlie would have been in utter heaven!! So of course I bought him another pair of Vans shoes, making it a total of 3! These ones were blue and black and only $290HK which is about $40AUD - still less than half price youd pay in Australia! They also sold clothing, bags, sunnies and I guess all things Vans here, so if youre a big Vans fan, then this store is a definite MUST!!!!! Less than half price of stuff in Australia

Adidas Store TST: Genuine products

by lindyz

If you are after a HUGE selection of genuine Adidas products in central HK you cannot go past the Adidas store in Hankow Road, TST. This store was less than a minute walk from where we were staying at Hop Inn so we passed it on a daily basis. I think I only bought some socks here for the boys, but at good prices, about $25HK each which is about less than $4AUD a pair, much much cheaper than in Australia.

Forrest Gump memorabilia: Bubba Gump Shop

by lindyz

Im a HUGE fan of Forrest Gump so it was special for me to eat at the restaurant, but also to check out the memorabilia shop! At the restaurant, I had a cocktail where you get to keep the cocktail glass, so that was awesome! At the shop, I bought a keyring, pack of playing cards and a coffee mug .... all for only $20AUD!!! The amount of stuff in this store to buy was amazing, and I could have easily spent more. Obviously you need to be a fan of the movie to appreciate this shop, and if you are .... I would highly recommend a visit! Coffee mug, key chain, cocktail glass and playing cards. Reasonable prices

Wan Chai Markets: Smaller Market on HK Island

by lindyz

This was an impromptu visit to Wan Chai Markets as it was the day we had planned to get the ferry to Macau, got all the way to the ferry port on HK Island and then realised we had forgotten our passports! So, while we were on HK Island, I suggested we visited Wan Chai markets as I had been told they were pretty good.It took us a while to actually find them, asking lots of locals, who all looked very confused! And actually Im not even sure we did find them, as what we did find was small and not that good, and I therefore would not recommend them at all.But anyway, an interesting morning was had, saw a horse tail hanging in an open air meat market, saw some beautiful flowers and bought my first piece of HK clothing!!! Cheap Market prices

Sportshouse: Super value Sporting clothes/shoes

by lindyz

We accidentally stumbled across this store on our first day when we were attempting to cross busy Salisbury Road to get to Victoria Harbour, and what a GREAT find it was!!! A relatively small sporting store but with an amazing range of sports shoes (especially converse and vans which I was hunting for!) I think we ended up buying 8 pairs of shoes from here, and all at about one third of the prices we would pay in Australia! Georgia's boyfriend Charlie had given me a specific pair of Vans shoes he wanted me to buy (if I saw them) they were Authentic Red in a size 10 .... and I was thinking no way I would even find them ..... well guess what - they had them in here, exact colour, exact size and exact type and they were only $209HK which is about $29AUD .... you would pay $80-$90 for the same ones here! I think I also bought him a purple pair of Vans plus 6 pairs of converse shoes, all for...

Harbour City: Endless High End Stores

by lindyz

I was rather amazed at the amount of High End Stores in Hong Kong, not only at Harbour City, but pretty much scattered all through HK, and they were full of mainly asians, not many westerners/tourists. Needless to say, these stores are completely out of my league and I dont even believe they are worth the money, even if I did have it!!! Very pretty to window-shop at night with all the pretty lights - now thats good value haha!! Top top dollar!!!

Harbour City: Endless upmarket Stores

by lindyz

Harbour City is located in central TST and is definitely worth a look, if nothing else! I say that because the bulk of the stores in here are very upmarket and way out of my price league, but it was still fun window-shopping! We did find one sports store in here that had relatively well priced converse shoes (of which we bought many in HK) The store was called GigaSports and its located on Level 2, Ocean Terminal. We bought 2 pairs of converse shoes here (low tops) for only $233HK each which equates to about $29AUD each which is AMAZING value, as they are about $80 here!Harbour City is actually located on Victoria Harbour and is bound by Canton Road. There are many sections and levels to Harbour City, with the main sections being the Gateway Arcade, Ocean Centre, Marco Polo HK Hotel Arcade, Ocean Terminal and Star House. There is also an amusing Supermarket in here called City Super with...
