The best thing to do in HK is go shopping until your feet ache. That's what we do from the start of the morning until the evening. We just go around and look for discount stores to shop and evening markets.We also went to Shatin, HK and went to Snoopy's world.

The Nathan Road is the main commercial street of Kowloon, beginning just a few metres off Victoria Harbour. I like it best in the evening hours, when the giant billboards are illuminated and there is still so much life going on in Kowloon.

This building of low price guesthouses has become a legend in Hong Kong, in that it has resisted being knocked down so many times as it is a fire trap and very grotty looking too! The last 3 floors are full of fabric, fast-food and video shops. Apparently there are some cheap and tasty Indian restaurants inside, but I couldn’t bring myself to venture that close!

Nathan Road, or the Golden Mile as it is called is the main street that you come across as you come off the ferry in Tsim Sha Tsui. Along Nathan Road you can find bars, restaurants, tailors, electrical shops. It is best seen at night. A had to be done experience, but not really my kind of thing. Beware – the touts,harmless but annoying all the same!

To target designer wear, walk along Canton Road and Salisbury Road. Explore Granville Road and Cameron Road for porcelain, embroidery and factory outlets. Mody Road for souvenirs.

The streets branching off Haiphong Road for small boutiques and market stalls and for the more exotic, stroll through Chungking Mansions on Nathan, lots of ethnic shops, curry houses and dark passages there.

The Nation Road is a traditional 'tourist area'.
With many shops aimed for the tourist, whom are not well informed about the price.
Be extra-caustion when shopping in those small company - less then ~1000' sq ft shops.
For big chain store, you may get no surprise then again you won't be traped.
