If you’re shopping in Hong Kong, these are the places to go! 6 Must-Visit Shopping Spots!!

In recent years, it's said that the number of tourists coming to Hong Kong for shopping has been declining due to rising prices. However, Hong Kong still proudly holds its title as a shopping paradise!
Why is that? It’s because, under the “One Country, Two Systems” framework, Hong Kong continues to be a city where the latest trends and products from all over the world flow in one after another. And there’s another important point: the Hong Kong people’s sense of value for money. Hongkongers are extremely price-conscious, so if a shopping spot is popular in Hong Kong, you can be sure it offers excellent cost performance!

1. The Peninsula Arcade

Hong Kong is known for its luxury hotels, but when it comes to the most iconic, many people will mention The Peninsula Hong Kong because of its long history and prestige. Inside this renowned hotel is The Peninsula Arcade, a shopping spot lined with famous brand stores.

In addition to luxury boutiques and specialty shops selling silk and cashmere, there are also plenty of high-end jewelry stores. Plus, you’ll find a boutique by Hong Kong designer Alice Chan and The Peninsula Boutique, where you can purchase souvenirs from the hotel.

With about 80 stores in total, it’s smaller compared to other shopping centers, but its biggest charm is that you can enjoy shopping in an elegant, luxurious atmosphere. And while you’re there, why not take a stroll through the hotel itself?

2. ELEMENTS

ELEMENTS is a relatively new shopping center in Hong Kong. Its biggest feature is its convenient location—directly connected to Kowloon Station on the Airport Express line. For tourists, this is an unbeatable shopping spot. In just 30 minutes after leaving the airport, you can already be shopping!

This is one of the largest shopping malls in Hong Kong, offering everything from luxury brands to casual items. The layout is based on the five elements of Feng Shui: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

Metal: High-end fashion and restaurants
Wood: Beauty and health
Water: Gourmet food
Fire: Entertainment
Earth: Casual fashion

The space is vast, so you can shop comfortably and at your own pace!

3. SASA

SASA is Hong Kong’s most famous cosmetic shopping chain. If it’s your first time visiting Hong Kong, you might be surprised by the flashy pink SASA signs that seem to be everywhere in the shopping districts. What started 40 years ago as a small cosmetics store run by just two people has now grown into a massive discount cosmetic chain with over 50 stores in Hong Kong and more than 2,000 employees.

This shop embodies the Hong Kong Dream. Its appeal lies in its high discounts and huge product selection. Cosmetics from over 500 brands around the world are displayed in sections by category—it's truly impressive. There’s no other cosmetic shopping spot in Hong Kong that can compare!

4. Yue Hwa Chinese Products Emporium

This is Hong Kong’s most famous local Chinese department store. From food to clothing, everything they sell has an authentic “Chinese” vibe.

Whether it’s food, traditional Chinese medicine, cheongsams (Chinese dresses), Chinese-style goods and tableware, Chinese furniture, or luxury jewelry, this is the perfect shopping spot if you’re looking for uniquely “Hong Kong” items that are getting harder to find elsewhere in the city. While the clothing might seem a bit old-fashioned from a Japanese point of view, the basement food section, herbal medicine area, and Chinese goods corner are ideal for picking up souvenirs.

This department store is the complete opposite of high-end brand shopping malls. With so many affordable prices, it’s easy to lose track of time while browsing—especially for female tourists!

5. Ladies' Market (Night Market)

Located on Tung Choi Street, the Ladies' Market stretches about 1 km with over 100 street stalls selling accessories, cheap clothes, and souvenirs. This is a shopping spot where you can test your bargaining skills! It’s one of the most frequently featured places in Hong Kong guidebooks and magazines.

The Ladies' Market is one of the two major night markets in Kowloon. It got its name because it mainly sells women’s fashion, bags, accessories, and other goods. There are also plenty of items for children, and since everything is inexpensive, you can let your kids pick out what they want without worrying about the budget. It’s an ideal spot for family souvenir shopping. In the past, there were concerns about safety, but now there’s nothing to worry about!

6. Citygate Outlets

Citygate Outlets is Hong Kong’s first large-scale outlet mall. Located on Lantau Island, it’s only a 10-minute drive from Hong Kong International Airport. It features around 80 stores, including famous international brands and local Hong Kong brands.

One of its unique points is that it has many outlet shops you won’t usually find in Japan. Notably, it has stores for Shanghai Tang, a luxury fashion and accessories brand from Hong Kong, and Giordano, a popular casual wear brand. Another big plus is its proximity to the airport, making it a great way to use your spare time before catching your flight. Since it’s right at the terminus of the MTR Tung Chung Line, you can shop here and then hop on the airport bus—an inexpensive and surprisingly convenient route.
